Hong Kong should rethink rules that threaten to make immigration detention feel like jail
南華早報
Dec 20, 2022
The proposed changes include allowing intimate body searches, raising maximum solitary confinement to 28 days and a new detention centre managed by the prisons authority. This is a disturbing move towards making an already opaque, non-judicial system punitive, especially when many have been victims of trafficking or persecution. 閱讀全文 (只有英文版本)

將檢疫隔離類比為羈留並不令人訝異，特別是入境羈留，因為兩者皆不是因為犯罪，而是以公共利益而被禁閉。不過「隔離」與「羈留」在待遇、設施以至禁閉期等方面，可謂有天壤之別，因此不能相提並論。 閱讀全文

Data on detention: Using official data in qualitative research, in collaboration with The Hong Kong Council of Social Service
Aug 14, 2022
Mental health workshop for volunteers and helping professionals
Immigration detention can be a traumatic experience for people being detained and their families, potentially causing retraumatization. Workers and volunteers assisting detainees and their families may also experience secondary trauma. To address these challenges, we organised a workshop for helping professionals to learn about primary trauma (the trauma experienced by detainees) and secondary trauma (the trauma experienced by their caregivers, such as volunteers), as well as self-care practices.

Stuck in Limbo: Mental Health in Administrative Immigration Detention in Hong Kong, presented at Hong Kong Sociological Association
This paper argues that beyond the clinical nature of administrative detention lies the visceral impacts of detention on the mental health of detainees. Detention can be distressing, retraumatising and even fatal for detainees and asylum seekers who are escaping from torture, exploitation, or awaiting an uncertain future after repatriation. The isolation and stress faced by detainees have also intensified during the time of pandemic, due to factors such as anxiety of falling ill and visit suspensions to detention centres.
