Joshua Wong, a prominent figure in Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement, has been sentenced to 10 years in jail for colluding with foreign forces under the national security law.
Wong, who has already spent six years in jail, pleaded guilty to the charges in September and will serve two months and two days of the sentence concurrently with his ongoing term.
Hong Kong's chief executive, John Lee, stated that Wong's actions undermined national sovereignty and stability, while human rights groups described the ruling as cruel and unjust.
