香港保安局为邀请粤语流行歌手张敬轩担任2019年社会动荡中年轻抗议者康复项目的导师一事进行辩护，此举引发内地网民不满。该项目已运行两年，旨在支持约7000名被捕但未被起诉的年轻人。
香港保安局表示，该项目通过邀请各界人士与这些年轻人分享积极生活经验，帮助他们重新开始。保安局发言人称：“[活动]包括保安局邀请有兴趣的个人，不论背景或行业，向这些年轻人参与分享和交流，以分享正面生活经历。”发言人补充：“这些努力为他们提供了翻开新的一页、重新开始的机会。”
张敬轩的分享会原定于本周二举行，其经纪人早前确认，一些2019年动荡中被捕的年轻人已受邀出席。保安局发言人拒绝提供该活动的进一步细节。《南华早报》亦向组织该活动的香港青年联会求证，但未获回应。
内地网民在微博上抨击这一安排，认为不适合张敬轩担任导师角色。该项目针对社会动荡期间被捕但未遭起诉的年轻人，提供康复支持，已运行两年。
