Hiring convicted college students as assistant scholars: everyone needs to take a step to repair

【Ming Pao News】A large number of young people with high education and no criminal record were sentenced to prison in the anti-revision movement, the Hong Kong Jockey Club of the University of Hong Kong Prof. Yip Siu-fai, director of the Suicide Prevention Research Center, at the invitation of the Society, hired 4 college students who had been sentenced to rehabilitation centers as research assistants since last summer vacation, and called on people with a heart to help young people re-enter society and promote social reconciliation, “We don’t mean to Help students to exonerate and downplay their crimes, we believe that if they do wrong, they should be punished, but what about him after punishing him? Don’t help them get up?”

With a high degree of education, I hope to find a suitable job

Ye Zhaohui said that in the past, most of the rehabilitated people were provided with fast food restaurants, etc. Grassroots work, but many of those arrested in the anti-extradition movement have high education, and the Society hopes to find more suitable job opportunities for them. Four college students hired by the center from the summer vacation of 2021 were charged with possession of offensive weapons and illegal assembly. They were sentenced to the rehabilitation center for several months. Zhang Fengyi, a training consultant at the center, said that after leaving the rehabilitation center, students were admitted to the halfway house of the Correctional Services Department. During the most stringent period of work, they were not allowed to go out to eat. Some students were approved to go home early due to their good behavior, but they were still under the supervision of the Correctional Services Department. .

Yuanyou still harbors hatred, the fact is polite and serious

Zhang Fengyi did not shy I was worried about whether the students would still harbor hatred or prejudice against their mainland colleagues, but they treat people politely and don’t mind sharing their prison experiences and reflections. They work diligently. What a surprise in the imagination, “We received a few “boys” who are very good.”

“We adults are responsible for them being like this”

Ye Zhaohui believes that, At that time, some young people expressed their dissatisfaction and demands in the wrong way due to social atmosphere or peer pressure. “But they were all for Hong Kong, because they loved Hong Kong.” He said that since the social movement has happened, the society must look forward. Many young people have already taken criminal responsibility and repented. “How to repair and rebuild the relationship requires everyone to take a step.” He is concerned about the impact of the case on young people’s schooling or job hunting, and the impact of the incident on them and their families, and hopes to encourage more people with a heart to build a platform to help them rejoin the society. He stated that he would continue to employ these young people. “Today they are like this, and we adults have a responsibility.” He called on the society not to forget them.
