  "account": "Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong was sentenced on Thursday to an additional 10 years in jail for alleged collusion with foreign entities under the city’s national security law. Wong, now 30, was among a group of activists whose protest efforts have been outlawed by the sweeping law imposed by Beijing in 2020 following violent demonstrations. High Court Judge William Tam stated that the punishment must fit the gravity of the crime and expressed the community's abhorrence towards the defendant's scheme to collude with external elements to endanger national security. Wong pleaded guilty to the charge in September but maintains he never advocated for Hong Kong independence or sought regime change in China. The case has drawn attention from international human rights groups and some Western and Asian countries watching the implementation of the national security law in Hong Kong.",
  "summary": "HONG KONG - Activist Joshua Wong, who became the ‌global face of Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement, was sentenced on Thursday to 10 years in jail on a charge of collusion with foreign entities under the city’s national security law.",
