Former Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong is sentenced to 10 years in prison for colluding with foreign forces under the National Security Law.

Wong was tried of conspiring with exiled activist Nathan Law and others to ask foreign countries, institutions, organisations or individuals outside China to impose sanctions

or blockades - or engage in other hostile activities - against Hong Kong or China between July 1 and November 23, 2020.

Wong has been in custody for the past six years, and had previously been imprisoned multiple times since his teenage years.

The 30-year-old is already serving four years and eight months for subversion and was due to be released in 2027.
