Within the imposing walls of Pik Uk Prison, a chilling tale unfolds. Pik Uk Prison stands as a stark reminder of Hong Kong’s complex history. It has housed political prisoners and ordinary criminals alike. In 2020, a young man named Roy Cheung shared his harrowing experience within Pik Uk’s confines. Arrested during the 2019 anti-government protests, Cheung’s ordeal exposed a darker side of the institution. He recounted incidents of guards resorting to violence, slapping him, elbowing his spine, and striking him with rulers. A simple act of singing in his cell resulted in swift punishment the following day. Cheung’s complaint filed against the prison, though initially unanswered, eventually led to an investigation by the Correctional Services Department. His story serves as a testament to the resilience of those who dare to challenge authority, even within the oppressive walls of Pik Uk Prison. This prison is more than just bricks and mortar. It is a repository of human stories, echoing with the voices of both the oppressed and the oppressors.
