Hong Kong Activist Joshua Wong Pleads Guilty in Second Security Case
Joshua Wong pleads guilty to a second national security charge involving foreign collusion and sanctions advocacy.
Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong has pleaded guilty to a second national security case, admitting to charges of colluding with foreign forces. The case centres on allegations that Wong sought to encourage foreign governments to impose sanctions on China and Hong Kong.
This marks the latest legal development for Wong, who is already serving a prison sentence of four years and eight months on a separate national security conviction. The guilty plea in the new case adds another layer to the legal scrutiny he faces under the city's sweeping security legislation.
The charges stem from actions that authorities say were aimed at soliciting external intervention in Hong Kong's affairs. Wong's admission in court brings the second case closer to a resolution, though sentencing details have not been disclosed in available information.
The case is part of a broader pattern of enforcement under the national security law, which has been used to target prominent figures associated with the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong.
