Joshua Wong Sentencing: Key Insights and Implications for Democracy Activism

Joshua Wong has received a sentence of ten years’ imprisonment following an additional charge under the National Security Law (NSL). This development occurs just months after the leaders of the Hong Kong Alliance were found guilty under the same legislation. These instances further illustrate the manner in which the NSL is being employed to target individuals for their political expression and participation.

Call for Justice and International Commitments

There is a pressing need for an immediate cessation of all unjust prosecutions of individuals charged under the NSL. It is essential for the authorities in both China and Hong Kong to honour their international commitments and uphold the rights and freedoms guaranteed to the people of Hong Kong under the Sino-British Joint Declaration of 1984.
