The Permanent Colony Timothy McLaughlin © Ivan Abreu Tam Tak-chi has spent much of the past two decades talking. First as a popular radio host, then as a prodemocracy activist, Tam had opinions, many of them, and cared little about holding them back. So it was not entirely surprising perhaps even expected in Hong Kong’s rapidly atrophying space for dissent that his words eventually drew the ire of authorities. Early one September morning last year, Tam was arrested at his home. His case has not drawn as much media attention, either domestically or abroad, as some other recent incidents in the city the day he was arrested, police nabbed some 300 others, fired pepper balls at demonstrators, and tackled a 12-year-old girl to the ground. In the months that followed, a steady, unrelenting clampdown included the jailing of the newspaper executive Jimmy Lai, and the mass arrest of prodemocracy figures has continued.
