Hong Kong democracy activist Joshua Wong has been serving a prison sentence for participating in political activities.
In June this year, he was again accused of "colluding with foreign forces," which is a new charge.
On Friday, Joshua Wong appeared in court again, and the judge decided to send his case to the High Court.
Joshua Wong, 28 years old, has long participated in Hong Kong's democracy movements and was one of the leaders of the 2019 Hong Kong protests.
In 2020, China implemented the National Security Law in Hong Kong, and Joshua Wong and others were arrested for organizing primary elections.
In 2024, Joshua Wong was sentenced to four years and eight months in prison.
Now, he is facing new charges again.
If found guilty, he may be sentenced to a longer prison term.
Many supporters cheered for him in court, hoping he can hold on.
Some countries and international organizations have also expressed concern about Joshua Wong's situation, believing he was sentenced just for peacefully expressing his views.
They call on the Hong Kong government to release Joshua Wong and others who are detained for expressing their opinions.
