Last week, we spoke with Frances Hui, policy and advocacy coordinator at the Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong Foundation, about the Foundation’s investigative report “We Were Made to Suffer: Systemic Abuse and Political Control Inside Hong Kong’s Prisons.”
The report documents how Hong Kong’s prisons have become instruments of political repression, where political prisoners are subjected to psychological manipulation, solitary confinement, and routine neglect.

In this week’s episode, we continue our look inside Hong Kong’s tightening system of control, but from beyond the prison walls.
As hundreds of political prisoners remain detained, what happens to those who’ve been released or forced into exile? And what does freedom look like when your home has turned against you?
