Английская Википедия:High Island Detention Centre
Материал из Онлайн справочника
The High Island Detention Centre (Шаблон:Zh) was a refugee camp in Hong Kong built near the West Dam of High Island Reservoir for hosting refugees and boat people from Vietnam. The area is now a flat piece of grassland that is grazed by cows. It has a pavilion that leads out of the strip of land.
The Centre was initially managed by Hong Kong Police, and then by the CSD from 1991.[1] The construction of the Centre was delayed by two months after concerned Sai Kung residents staged a sit-in at the site.[2] It opened in 1989 and closed in May 1998. During that period, more than 20,000 boat people passed through its doors.[1]
