The applicant argues that since he never had any ties with Communist Vietnam, he should not be returned to that country. Although the documentary evidence refers to Vietnam's bleak human rights record, it does not support the premise that a person with the applicant's profile would be at risk if returned to Vietnam at this time. I find that the applicant's risk allegations to be speculative and unsupported by the evidence. Nor can such allegations support the applicant's alleged Charter violations. It is well established that Charter decisions, "cannot be based upon the unsupported hypotheses of enthusiastic counsel." (MacKay v. Manitoba, 1989 CanLII 26 (SCC), [1989] 2 S.C.R. 357, at 361-362)
