Hong Kong activist Joshua Wong is due to be sentenced in September in his second case brought under Hong Kong’s national security law, which was imposed by Beijing, according to multiple reports. Wong is scheduled to appear in the High Court on September 2 for the sentencing proceedings. One outlet reports that he is expected to plead guilty ahead of sentencing, with the case described as involving a charge of “foreign collusion.” Another report frames the upcoming court date as sentencing in the second national security matter in which Wong faces a second jail term.

The sources agree that the September proceedings relate to Wong’s legal status under the national security law, and that the court appearance on September 2 is set by the Hong Kong Judiciary’s court diary.
