Three pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong have been jailed.
Among them is one of the most prominent activists, Joshua Wong.
Wong has been sentenced to 13 and a half months in prison,... for organizing an unlawful anti-government assembly in 2019.
Agnes Chow, a fellow activist, received 10 months.
And Ivan Lam was given seven months.
Their sentences point to China's increasingly aggressive crackdown on political opposition in Hong Kong.
This summer, China imposed the controversial national security law on Hong Kong,... which grants sweeping power to the authorities to suppress dissent.
