The UK is allowing Hongkongers with British National (Overseas) status and their dependants to settle here. Some of these students may come with emotional challenges. This is because young people were key participants in a 2019 mass social movement to oppose a law amendment many feared would threaten the city’s freedom. For more than six months, they witnessed a violent crackdown on the streets either in person or via social media. This was followed by political suppression which extended to classrooms.
