Fru formand, flygtningene i Hongkongs interneringslejre behandles som kriminelle: indkvarteringen af flygtningene er overgået fra Hongkongs boligmyndigheder til fængselsvæsenet, det personale, der har opsyn med dem, er personer, der er uddannet som fængselspersonale og ikke til at tage sig af familier i nød; de anbringes i celler, hver især isoleret fra omverdenen 23 timer om dagen.
Madam President, the refugees in the detention centres in Hong Kong are being treated like criminals: their custody has been transferred from the Hong Kong housing services to the correctional services; they are being dealt with by staff who are trained to look after prisoners, not families in need of help; they are left in their cells, individually isolated from the world for 23 hours a day.
