Hong Kong Activist Joshua Wong Faces Sentencing for Foreign Collusion Charge
Joshua Wong, a prominent Hong Kong pro-democracy activist known for his role in the 2014 Umbrella Movement, is set to be sentenced for 'foreign collusion' under the national security law. Having already served nearly six years in prison for protest-related charges, Wong pleaded guilty to lobbying foreign entities for sanctions against Hong Kong and China. The new sentence could extend his imprisonment by 10 years to life. Rights groups view the charges as efforts to prolong his detention amid ongoing political tensions.
