  "summary": "Hong Kong democracy activist Joshua Wong has been sentenced to an additional ten years in prison for colluding with foreign powers, according to a report by Euronews. Wong, who gained international recognition during the 2014 Umbrella Movement protests, has already spent nearly six years in jail and is set to be released in late 2036. The former student leader was previously expected to be freed in January after serving four years and eight months for subversion under a Beijing-introduced national security law. However, Hong Kong authorities used the same law to charge Wong again in June 2022, accusing him of collusion with other countries and entities to impose sanctions against the finance hub and China. The court described Wong and fellow student leader Nathan Law as two ring-leaders or masterminds of a conspiracy to endanger national security.",
