Gender breakdown of detainees at Mau Tau Kok detention centre
Dear Immigration Department,
I am writing to make a data access request about the gender of detainees at Mau Tau Kok Detention Centre. May I know, for the years 2018-2020:
a) the detainee population on 31 December of each year, broken down according to gender (men and women)
If a CSV or Excel format is possible, I would greatly appreciate it. Otherwise PDF or similar would be fine as well.
Yours faithfully,
Surabhi Chopra
