Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong pleaded guilty on Wednesday to a charge of conspiracy to collude with foreign forces to endanger national security. The proceedings took place in a Hong Kong court under the national security law imposed by Beijing. This marks the second national security case brought against Wong, a prominent figure in the city’s political movement.
The conviction carries a potential sentence of up to life imprisonment. The legal action is part of a broader trend of prosecutions under the national security law, which observers note has significantly impacted the city's pro-democracy movement.
