case_reason: >
  Application for leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal concerning a non-refoulement claim. 
  The applicant's appeal was dismissed by the Court of Appeal on 28 May 2020, and she subsequently 
  sought leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal, arguing that the assessor did not properly 
  consider her fear of returning to her country of origin due to political disputes and that the 
  assessment lacked proper inquiry about country conditions under BOR 3 risk.
judgment_summary: >
  The Court of Appeal dismissed the applicant's Notice of Motion for leave to appeal to the Court 
  of Final Appeal. The applicant had previously appealed from DHCJ K.W. Lung's order refusing her 
  application for leave to apply for judicial review concerning her non-refoulement claim, which 
  was dismissed on 28 May 2020. In her motion, the applicant repeated arguments already assessed 
  by the lower court and the Court of Appeal without addressing the court's reasoning. The court 
  found no question of great general or public importance under section 22(1)(b) of the Hong Kong 
  Court of Final Appeal Ordinance (Cap. 484), nor any basis for granting leave under the "or 
  otherwise" limb. The motion dated 9 June 2020 was dismissed.
