LLHK Statement on the Sentencing of Joshua Wong

On 5 November 2026, the Hong Kong High Court sentenced pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong to ten years in prison for 'conspiracy to collude with foreign forces' under the National Security Law — a mandatory minimum the court applied despite acknowledging his conduct involved no violence. Lady Liberty Hong Kong condemns the sentence, demands his immediate and unconditional release, and reiterates its call for the complete repeal of the NSL.
