Hong Kong singer Hins Cheung has pledged to be a companion rather than a mentor to youngsters arrested during the 2019 anti-government protests during an event organised as part of a youth rehabilitation programme.

The sharing session, themed “New Opportunity, New Journey”, was held at the Hong Kong Museum of History on Tuesday night.

More than 300 participants attended the event, including youngsters arrested during the protests, as well as university students and members of three neighbourhood committees.

A participant who declined to be named said she was asked to sign a document confirming her attendance.

A staff member from the Hong Kong United Youth Association, the event’s organiser, informed her the document would be passed on to police, adding that some previous participants had later been informed that their cases had been closed.

The 2½-hour event also offered guidance on further studies, career development and life planning, and arranged for participants to visit the National Security Exhibition Gallery at the museum.
