"joshua-wong"

Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong has received an additional 10-year prison sentence under Beijing's national security law for conspiracy to collude with foreign forces. The ruling has intensified concerns over political dissent and the shrinking space for civil liberties

“I am persuaded that neither prison bars, nor election ban, nor any other arbitrary powers would stop us from activism,” Wong said.

Those arrested in August range in age from 16 to 33. Their families are now campaigning to use their own lawyers instead of the court-appointed ones from the Chinese side.
