Young people jailed over 2019 anti-extradition bill events released; some unable to return to school and seek help
2019年反修例事件判囚青年出獄 部分無法復學求助《信報》引述議會大黨中人慨嘆：相信佢哋已經洗心革面，但都幫唔到佢哋
As Hong Kong focuses on revitalising the economy and making every effort to attract talent, a legislator has disclosed receiving a number of requests for help from young people released after serving prison sentences for cases related to the 2019 anti-extradition bill events. They reportedly wanted to return to school after their release but were unable to do so, even with assistance from legislators. One legislator lamented: “I believe they have turned over a new leaf, but I still can’t help them.” The Hong Kong Economic Journal’s current-affairs column reported today (the 17th) that a pro-establishment party and individual legislators are concerned about young people released after serving sentences for their involvement in anti-extradition bill cases, and want to help them reintegrate into society. Citing legislators, the column said some of the young people were still students before they were arrested but were “kicked out of school” because they were involved in anti-extradition bill cases. A source from the major party in the Legislative Council said that after their release, legislators were still unable to help them return to school despite going to considerable lengths and experiencing considerable difficulty, lamenting: “I believe they have turned over a new leaf, but I still can’t help them.”
