Hong Kong Activist Joshua Wong Sentenced to 10 More Years in Prison
Posted on 2026-11-05 19:13:13
Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong has been sentenced to an additional 10 years in prison under a national security law imposed by Beijing.
Wong, who rose to prominence as a student protest leader, was already serving a prison sentence in a separate national security case.
He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to collude with foreign forces.
Judge William Tam cited Wong's calls for sanctions against China and Hong Kong when handing down the sentence.
Wong expressed regret and said he hoped to become a better person during his imprisonment.
The U-S condemned the sentence and called for his release, while critics say the case highlights Beijing's continuing crackdown on Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement.
