HONG KONG, Nov 3 — A Hong Kong court will sentence pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong on Thursday, according to the judiciary’s website, in a second national security trial that could see him jailed for life.
Wong, who is already serving a nearly five-year jail term for subversion and was due for release in early 2027, pleaded guilty to the collusion charges in September.
The 30-year-old former student leader is one of the most recognisable faces of the Chinese city’s now-quashed democracy movement.
He was charged last year under a national security law imposed on Hong Kong by Beijing, in a move condemned by rights groups.
