Prominent Hong Kong democracy campaigner Joshua Wong has received a ten-year prison term for a national security offense, specifically a conspiracy charge involving foreign collusion. The New York Times notes that the convicted figure was a leading voice in a movement suppressed in 2020. NPR adds that this marks Wong's second conviction under the Beijing-imposed legislation, noting that critics view the case as evidence of an ongoing crackdown against the city's formerly vibrant pro-democracy efforts.
