Joshua Wong Sentenced to 10 Years in Second National Security Case

The Hong Kong High Court has sentenced prominent pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong to 10 years in prison following his guilty plea to conspiracy to collude with foreign forces under the national security law. Wong, 30, was already serving a sentence of four years and eight months for his role in an unofficial 2020 democratic primary election. Legal experts and former Hong Kong representatives in Taipei highlight that the 10-year term reflects the minimum statutory threshold for security offenses categorized as severe.
