Zoila Lecarnaque Saavedra spent 8 years in a Hong Kong jail after cocaine was found in her luggage.

A quarter of Hong Kong's prisoners are women, some foreign drug mules who are often duped or coerced. Meanwhile, the smuggling kingpins rarely get jailed

I wanted their voices to be heard, and hopefully warn other women not to fall for easy deals. That’s when I went to AFP’s HK bureau chief @JeromeTaylor. He agreed it was a story that needed to be told and together we started digging. One year later we completed the piece.

Hong Kong was once world famous for its neon-light shop signs but many old masters took their secrets to the grave -- now a generation of tech-savvy, globally connected young artists are trying to keep the trade alive: @AFP Video: https://t.co/0QHIQGxFkA https://t.co/QRiYujy7B6
