Chinese businesswoman, son deported from Zimbabwe

Haoxuan
attempted
to
block
his
deportation
by
filing
an
urgent
application
at
the
High
Court,
seeking
to
prevent
his
removal
to
China.
In
his
court
filings,
he
accused
the
Chief
Director
of
Immigration
and
the
Ministry
of
Home
Affairs
and
Cultural
Affairs
of
threatening
deportation
without
securing
a
court
order.
However,
his
efforts
were
unsuccessful,
and
the
deportation
proceeded.

Their
lawyer,
Oliver
Marwa,
confirmed
the
deportation
but
said
the
exact
reasons
were
unclear.
“I
am
not
sure,
but
I
heard
it
is
something
to
do
with
threats
to
national
security,”
Marwa
stated.

Zimbabwe
immigration
spokesperson
Memory
Mugwagwa
referred
questions
to
Ario
Njagu,
who
declined
to
comment.

Li
Song
has
faced
multiple
criminal
allegations,
including
fraud,
theft,
smuggling,
and
the
externalisation
of
large
sums
of
money,
raising
speculation
that
her
legal
troubles
may
have
prompted
the
deportation.
Authorities,
however,
have
yet
to
officially
confirm
the
nature
of
the
charges
or
reasons
behind
the
decision.
