Joint statement from the foreign ministries of Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Joshua Wong was sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment following a further charge under the National Security Law (NSL). This comes just months after leaders of the Hong Kong Alliance were convicted under the same legislation. These are further examples of how the NSL is being used to target individuals for political expression and participation.
