Story summary

On November 5, 2026, Joshua Wong, a prominent Hong Kong pro-democracy activist, was sentenced to an additional 10 years in jail by the High Court of Hong Kong for conspiring with foreign forces under Beijing's national security law. Wong, who is already serving a sentence that was expected to end in January 2027, now faces up to 2026 more months in prison. The conviction reflects Beijing’s crackdown on political opposition since imposing the sweeping national security law in June 2020 following the 2019 protests. Wong rose to prominence as a teenage leader of protests against national education in 2012 and later co-founded Demosisto, which was dissolved under the new law.
