Forced repatriation of 51 Vietnamese migrants from Hong Kong
In Hong Kong security forces moved before dawn to remove 51 Vietnamese migrants from beds, sending them on a chartered jet to Hanoi. Despite pleas from the United States Canada and Amnesty International authorities insisted return home was more humane. The group included 8 men 17 women and 26 children and at least several thousand more are expected to follow in weeks with processing and training centers arranged upon arrival.
