Hong Kong prosecutors should treat children as children

In a troubling case highlighting systemic issues, Hong Kong prosecutors have faced criticism for their handling of young protesters like Ms. Ami Chan, who was arrested in 2019 despite not being accused of rioting. This situation underscores the broader concern about the treatment of minors in the justice system, raising questions about the proportionality and humanity in legal proceedings. The implications extend beyond individual cases, reflecting larger debates about justice, accountability, and the rights of young people in the region.
