International Condemnation and Hong Kong Lawmakers' Response to Joshua Wong Sentencing
Several countries, including the US, UK, Australia, and others, condemned the sentencing of Hong Kong activist Joshua Wong to an additional 10 years under the national security law, calling for an end to what they see as unjust prosecutions and urging respect for Hong Kong's rights under the Sino-British Joint Declaration. In contrast, Hong Kong's Legislative Council condemned foreign criticism, defending the judicial system and national security laws, and accusing critics of distorting Wong's actions as political expression.
