Federal Court found a Refugee Protection Division member biased while working in Hong Kong On December 8, 2021, the Federal Court of Canada found out that a Refugee Protection Division member who has been working from 2010 to 2012 in the Executive Branch of the Hong Kong special administrative region, demonstrated a reasonable apprehension of bias in hearing the refugee claim of a Hong Kong Umbrella Movement participant. The applicant’s application rejected by the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) member will be sent back to the RAD to be processed and determined by a different member. #Federal_Court, #Hong_Kong, #RAD, #refugees, #Umbrella_Movement (at Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYCC8vmFsYg/?utm_medium=tumblr
