A Christian pro-democracy campaigner, who said his motivation for joining activism was that ‘we should be salt and light’, has been sentenced to almost five more years in prison, having already served three since 2021.
He is one of 45 pro-democracy demonstrators falling victim to a government crackdown on anti-establishment demonstrations.
Joshua Wong, 28, was one of several activists who led marches in Hong Kong in support of democracy, freedom and the rule of law. The protests were attended by hundreds of thousands and took various forms, including the singing of hymns on the streets.
