Legislative Council Condemns External Forces for Smearing Sentence in Joshua Wong Case

On 7 November 2026, Radio Television Hong Kong reported in a live local news item that the Legislative Council issued a statement on the sentence in Joshua Wong's conspiracy to collude case, strongly condemning and opposing external forces' denigration and smearing of the court's sentence in the case. A Legislative Council spokesman pointed out that multiple Western countries, anti-China media and politicians had recently made false remarks in an attempt to distort criminal acts as personal political expression; the spokesman criticised some external forces for demanding Joshua Wong's unconditional release and the withdrawal of the charges, which was itself a serious undermining of the rule of law, and denounced their double standards as completely unacceptable. The report did not mention the specific date of sentencing, the term of imprisonment or other case details, nor did it state the specific time the Legislative Council statement was issued. The current development is that the Legislative Council has publicly stated its position, condemning external forces' denigration and smearing of the sentence.
