Joshua Wong Jailed for 10 Years for Conspiring to Collude with Foreign Forces as Police Say Sentence Is Appropriate

Joshua Wong was jailed for 10 years at the High Court on 5 November for conspiring to collude with foreign forces, with Li Kwai-wah, chief superintendent of the police National Security Department, saying the sentence was appropriate and reflected the seriousness of the offence. Judge Alex Lee said the case was serious in nature and that the minimum term under the national security law was 10 years. Amnesty International criticised the sentence as aimed at punishing dissent and called for his national security law conviction to be quashed.
