Justice Deferred in Hong Kong: A Cautionary Tale for International Relations The sentencing of Isabel Rose, a 26 year old British woman, to six years in prison for blackmail and perverting the course of justice in Hong Kong has sparked widespread outrage and debate.
The case raises uncomfortable questions about the exploitation of relationships between foreigners living in Hong Kong and their native born counterparts.
Rose initially reported her allegations of rape against a British banker to the police, leading to his arrest and subsequent release without charge.
