Hong Kong court sentences Joshua Wong to 10 more years for foreign collusion
Current overview (not historical)
A Hong Kong court has sentenced democracy activist Joshua Wong to 10 years in prison for collusion with foreign forces, adding to his existing sentence. Wong pleaded guilty in September and is the only person charged twice under the national security law in Hong Kong's largest national security case of 2024. He had already served four years and eight months for subversion and was due for release in January; two months and two days of the new term will run concurrently with the current sentence. International human rights groups called the verdict cruel and unfair and described it as part of a broader political crackdown.
