Hong Kong activist Joshua Wong was sentenced Monday to three months in prison for breaching court bans on disclosing personal information about a police officer during 2019 anti-government protests.

Wong rose to prominence in 2014 pro-democracy protests in the Chinese territory and is in prison after being convicted of multiple charges during authorities' crackdown on the city's pro-democracy movement. He intends to plead guilty in the city's biggest national security case, in which he faces a potential penalty of up to life in prison.
