I provide expert analysis on all five Refugee Convention grounds: political opinion, religion, ethnicity, membership of a particular social group (including LGBT and gender-based cases), and nationality with focus on the following countries:
China:
Persecution of political dissidents, rights lawyers, religious groups (including Christians, Uyghur Muslims, and Falun Gong practitioners), and ethnic minorities such as Uyghurs, Tibetans, and Mongols. Targeting of LGBT activists and gender rights defenders. Statelessness risks for exiled dissidents and deportees.
North Korea:
Extreme persecution based on political opinion (including defection), religious belief, and perceived disloyalty to the regime. Ethnic discrimination against mixed-nationality children and forced repatriation of refugees. Gender-based violence in detention and severe punishment for LGBT identity.
Mongolia:
Discrimination against Kazakh and other ethnic minorities, lack of protection for domestic violence survivors and LGBT individuals. Restriction of religious expression in rural regions. Cases of political suppression, especially involving anti-corruption activists and journalists.
Vietnam:
Suppression of political dissent and opposition parties. Harassment of independent churches and Buddhist sects. Ethnic discrimination against Montagnards and other hill tribes. Gender-based violence and persecution of LGBT individuals. Denial of protection to returnees perceived as opponents of the state.

Widespread ethnic and religious persecution, including Rohingya Muslims and Christian minorities. Political repression following the 2021 coup. Mass arrests, torture, and sexual violence targeting women and LGBT persons. Statelessness among displaced ethnic communities and returnees.
