San Uk Ling Holding Centre

North District, China

San Uk Ling Holding Centre is a detention centre in Man Kam To, Hong Kong. Located a few hundred metres away from the Man Kam To Control Point, a boundary crossing facility between Hong Kong and mainland China, the centre opened in July 1979 to house illegal immigrants prior to their repatriation. Infamous for the remoteness, San Uk Ling was used to detain protesters during the 2019 protests. Controversial allegations of mistreatment and sexual violence in the detention facility had emerged, which were vehemently denied by the police.
