Former detainee Michael Kovrig : Conditions may vary between different detention centres.

Wandi Li said she is holding out hope for her father’s safe return to Canada .

“Our hope is just that the word does get around, and that hopefully because if more people know about it, maybe the government in China will be a little more swayed to make a decision on the case and free my dad, she said.

Wang Yan said she was aware of possible risks in speaking out, but all she wants is movement and certainty in her husband's case.
