Collusion, Consequences, and the Cost of Activism in Hong Kong The arrest and prosecution of Joshua Wong have raised questions about the consequences of activism in Hong Kong under Beijing's watchful eye.
Wong, a prominent pro democracy campaigner, has pleaded guilty to a charge of collusion with foreign entities, which carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment under the National Security Law (NSL).
This is not his first time facing charges related to advocacy; he is already serving a four year and eight month sentence for subversion.
