Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong has pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy to endanger national security, according to reports from September 1, 2026.
Wong, a prominent figure in Hong Kong's democracy movement, entered his plea in court. The specific details of the conspiracy charge and the evidence presented were not immediately available.
This development comes amid a broader crackdown on dissent in Hong Kong, following the implementation of a national security law by Beijing in 2020. The law has been criticized by human rights groups and international observers for curtailing freedoms in the semi-autonomous city.
