Al Jazeera English: 'Second chance' sought for Hong Kong protesters

13 Feb 2022

Thousands of young people who were arrested during anti-government demonstrations in Hong Kong are being offered self-help advice. Many have criminal records - a barrier to finding a job - while others are frustrated about the changes to their lives since being arrested. A group called Project Change has stepped in to assist dozens of arrested protesters by providing life-planning, counselling and legal support. There are also calls to expand the rehabilitation law to help the protesters move on.
