Tang Ping-keung: Police launch special program to give young people arrested over anti-extradition bill protests a chance for rehabilitation

Commissioner Tang Ping-keung of the Security Bureau stated on a Hong Kong radio and TV program that over the past five or six years, society has become relatively stable. In addition to continuing to safeguard national security and protect citizens' lives and property, the authorities have also increased responsibilities, including facilitating commerce and benefiting the public, such as making it easier for travelers to come to Hong Kong.\n\nTang Ping-keung also revealed that some young people who were arrested during the anti-extradition bill protests have not yet been prosecuted. Over the past one or two years, the police have launched special programs and will contact relevant individuals, providing them with opportunities for rehabilitation through positive activities within legal limits, but he did not disclose details of the programs.\n\nRegarding the tense situations in Russia-Ukraine and the Middle East, Tang Ping-keung said that Hong Kong is an international metropolis and financial center. The current level of terrorism threat is moderate, indicating that there is a risk of attack but no confirmed intelligence. He stated that Hong Kong has a comprehensive counter-terrorism system and urged citizens to report any suspicious activity immediately.
