US EditionHong Kong activist Joshua Wong charged under Beijing-imposed security law for second time
- On June 6, 2025, 28-year-old Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong appeared in court in the West Kowloon area to face new charges under the national security law.
- The charges relate to his alleged 2020 collaboration with Nathan Law and additional individuals to request foreign governments or organizations to impose sanctions and other restrictive measures against Hong Kong and China under Beijing's national security legislation.
- Wong is currently serving a 56-month sentence for previous offences related to participating in an unofficial primary election charged under the same security law.
- The new conspiracy charge carries a potential life sentence and accuses Wong of actions likely to cause serious consequences, to which he responded by saying, "Understand."
- His case was adjourned until August 8, 2025, and he was remanded without bail amid ongoing international criticism of the law for suppressing free speech.
