Clients: Hong Kong and Tibbo

clients: Snowden hid out in Hong Kong for two weeks in June 2013 after he leaked documents revealing extensive U.S. government surveillance, according to CTV. His whereabouts were a mystery during that time and it was not until last year that the role Tibbo and his clients played in sheltering Snowden was revealed. Immigration officials in the southern Chinese city denied the applications by the four adults and three children from Sri Lanka and the Philippines, Robert Tibbo said Monday. Tibbo said his clients will appeal the ruling, which leaves them at risk of being detained or deported to their home countries. He said he represents 50 to 60 other clients who are applying for asylum in Hong Kong, where cases typically take years to be processed. They have also applied for refugee status in Canada.
