> Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong pleaded guilty on September 2 to conspiracy to collude with foreign forces under the Hong Kong national security law. The High Court postponed sentencing. The charge carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. Wong has spent more than 2,100 days in custody or prison since 2020, and a further arrest in June 2025 while he was serving time has left his expected January 2027 release uncertain.
