Prominent Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong pleaded guilty on Wednesday to conspiracy to collude with foreign forces to endanger national security under a Beijing-imposed law that has effectively stifled the city's once-thriving pro-democracy movement.
It was the second prosecution of Wong – a former student leader in the pro-democracy movement and one of its most recognisable faces – under the national security law introduced in 2020 to quell massive anti-government protests that rocked the city a year prior.
