HONG KONG—Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong was remanded in custody on Monday after pleading guilty to charges of organizing and inciting an unauthorized assembly near the police headquarters during last year’s anti-government protests.
Wong, who was just 17 years old when he became the face of the 2014 student-led Umbrella Movement democracy protests, faces a maximum three-year jail term. The sentence will be delivered by Dec. 2 at 2.30 p.m.
