Yuli: A domestic worker reports on Hong Kong’s historic protests

 


An Indonesian domestic worker becomes a fearless citizen journalist on the front lines of Hong Kong’s historic protests.

When mass protests break out against a controversial extradition bill in Hong Kong, an Indonesian domestic worker emerges as a powerful voice.

Amid the water cannon and tear gas, Yuli reports as a citizen journalist from the frontlines.

She writes stories and livestreams video to her digital platform “Migran Pos” in Bahasa-Indonesian, giving her fellow migrant workers and their families back home a rare insight into unfolding events.

Suddenly Yuli is arrested for a visa technicality, and her story attracts international media attention.

When Yuli is detained, she writes about her experiences and realises the power of her words.

This is from two years ago at the height of the protests in Hong Kong against China's new national security law.
