【明報專訊】The government's vetting process for the Top Talent Pass Scheme has landed in controversy. He Jiankui, an academic who was jailed on the mainland for genetically editing human embryos, had been granted a visa to Hong Kong under the scheme. His qualification was revoked only last night (21 February) after the case had raised wide concern. The Secretary for Labour and Welfare said yesterday that applicants were not required to declare whether they had criminal records in the scheme's application process. However, according to the Immigration Department's website, aside from the eligibility criteria of academic qualifications or working income, applicants under the scheme have to meet normal entry requirements, such as having no record of serious crimes.
