Joshua Wong pleads guilty again
Prominent Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to endanger national security, his second guilty plea under the national security law.
Wong, who became a key leader of the democracy movement as a teenager, now faces the prospect of many more years in prison.
The plea relates to charges of collusion with foreign forces, with prosecutors arguing he conspired with external entities.
Wong's case is seen as a significant moment for Hong Kong's opposition movement, which has been largely dismantled since the national security law was imposed.
