AI Summary

Prominent Hong Kong activist Joshua Wong was sentenced to ten years in prison on Thursday for his second conviction under the Beijing‑imposed national security law. The ruling follows a previous conviction on the same charge and comes amid criticism that the case exemplifies a broader crackdown on Hong Kong’s pro‑democracy movement. Wong, who rose to prominence as a teenage student leader during the 2014 protests, faced the sentencing in a Hong Kong magistrates’ court.
