"I don't feel sad, just numb. The whole experience of reporting the allegation left me feeling like my dignity was stripped away."
"Campaigners say the case raises wider questions about how allegations of sexual assault are assessed and the judgements made on behaviour following this type of trauma."
"The police said there was insufficient evidence to pursue the rape claim, leading to my arrest instead of the man who attacked me."
Isabel Rose, a 25-year-old from east London, is adjusting to life in Hong Kong's Tai Lam Correctional Institution after alleging she was raped. Following her report to the police, she was arrested and charged with blackmail and perverting the course of public justice. Campaigners highlight the case's implications for how sexual assault allegations are handled. Rose feels her dignity was stripped away during the process and has been unable to work or leave Hong Kong for two years while awaiting trial.
