A 64-year-old Filipina charged with breach of condition of stay for overstaying for almost two years, walked free today from the Shatin Court after the charge was dropped because the prosecution offered no evidence against her.
Instead, Alona A. was bound to a promise not to commit any
criminal offense for one year, otherwise she will be fined $1,500. She was also
charged $500 for court costs.

Magistrate Raymond Wong explained
that the bind-over will not leave her with a criminal record in Hong Kong.

She was terminated on Dec. 31, 2023 and was given two weeks to
leave Hong Kong. However, she stayed on under the care of a charity operating a
home for the aged, so she could get rehabilitation treatment.
The Immigration Department filed a complaint last Nov. 3,
2025 for breach of condition of stay, contrary to section 41 of the Immigration
Ordinance.
