Joshua Wong Sentenced to 10 More Years Under Hong Kong National Security Law
Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong was sentenced to an additional 10 years in prison on November 5, 2026, for allegedly conspiring to collude with foreign forces under Beijing's national security law. The Uyghur Human Rights Project condemned the sentence as baseless and a tool to suppress dissent, while Amnesty International criticized the law's impact on freedoms. Wong, imprisoned since 2020, has been a prominent figure in Hong Kong's democracy movement, with his extended sentence drawing international concern over Beijing's tightening control.
