2 minutes read Hong Kong, May 6 (EFE).- Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong was sentenced Friday to 10 months in jail for joining an annual vigil commemorating the Tiananmen Massacre in June, which was banned due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It was the third time in five months the 24 year old was handed a jail sentence for taking part in pro-democracy rallies. The latest jail term will be added to two others he received and is currently serving, totaling 17 and a half months, for his roles in unauthorized protests held during the 2019 anti-government protest movement in Hong Kong. “It is clear that what the defendants did was premeditated… They openly defied the law, knowing that they had no authority for taking part in an unauthorized assembly,” District Court Judge Stanley Chan said before announcing the sentence.
