  "summary": "Hong Kong democracy activist Joshua Wong has been sentenced to an additional 10 years in jail, bringing his total to 10 years in prison. The activist, who rose to prominence during the 2014 Umbrella Movement protests, has been in custody since November 2020 and faces imprisonment until late 2036. The US consulate in Hong Kong strongly condemns the additional sentence, calling for Wong's immediate release. The prosecution alleged that Wong had agreed to lobby internationally to promote democratic self-determination in Hong Kong, a stance that Beijing views as anti-China and crossing its red line.",
