News at Eleven: Having spent two years

and five months in prison, Saw Wai was released in late May.

"This is my first show since I was released from prison. The inspectors came to the exhibition. They interrogated us, as is their custom. Then, my painting April, which I completed in 2003, was not allowed to be exhibited. In fact, the picture just featured a traditional water-festival scene," Saw Wai said.
