Hong Kong pro-democracy campaigner Joshua Wong’s time in prison has been extended after a court Thursday meted out a 10-year sentence over a second national security conviction.

Wong became the face of Hong Kong’s now-decimated pro-democracy movement when he was a teenager, and entered prison for the first time at 23. He turned 30 last month.

In September, he pleaded guilty to conspiring with fellow activists to invite foreign sanctions against China and Hong Kong in 2020 – the year Beijing introduced the city’s National Security Law (NSL), which led to a crackdown on dissent, the shuttering of vocal news outlets, and the dissolution of civic groups.

Wong is already serving 4 years and 8 months in prison, after pleading guilty in a landmark subversion trial in 2024. He was due for release in January.

香港民主运动人士黄之锋因第二次危害国家安全罪被判处10年监禁，周四法院再次判处其10年有期徒刑，刑期延长。

黄之锋在青少年时期就成为香港如今已元气大伤的民主运动的代表人物，23岁时首次入狱。他上个月刚满30岁。

9 月，他承认与同伙合谋，在 2020 年（北京出台香港国家安全法的那一年）请求外国对中国和香港实施制裁——该法导致镇压异议、关闭敢于发声的新闻媒体和解散公民团体。

黄某在2024年一起具有里程碑意义的颠覆国家政权罪审判中认罪，目前正在服刑4年零8个月。他原定于1月份获释。
