Hong Kong democracy activist Joshua Wong sentenced to 10 more years for collusion

Joshua Wong, a prominent Hong Kong democracy activist, has been sentenced to an additional 10 years in prison for colluding with foreign powers. This follows his previous sentence under a national security law, extending his incarceration until late 2036. Wong, who gained fame during the 2014 Umbrella Movement, expressed disappointment over the new charges, feeling as if he was starting over. His case highlights the tightening grip of Beijing on Hong Kong, with international criticism mounting against the repression of pro-democracy activists. Human Rights Watch condemned the sentence as cruel, while Taiwan criticized the ongoing political persecution of activists like Wong.
