Jailed Hong Kong democracy activist Joshua Wong hit with new charges

Joshua Wong, a prominent advocate for democratic reforms in Hong Kong, faces new charges under the city's national security law despite serving multiple life sentences for his role in the 2020 protests. Human rights groups warn that the law is overbroad, potentially targeting dissenters and undermining freedoms of expression and association. Wong’s latest legal battle underscores the government’s growing willingness to use the law to suppress freedoms in Hong Kong.
