#JoshuaWong Tells German Press: Not Expecting a Fair Trial, but Jailing Will Not Stop Hong Kong's Democracy Movement

Joshua Wong gave a written interview with the German press Die Welt while in solitary confinement, as he awaits his sentencing.

He said that he has long lost faith in Hong Kong's judicial system, and does not expect that a fair trial will take place

He says that it was difficult to sleep in his cell, since they kept his lights on 24 hours a day; however, compared to the 12 Hongkongers detained in China, he considered his charges to be relatively minor.

Wong said that he was placed in solitary confinement and not allowed to leave his single-person cell to meet with other inmates or exercise outside.

The lights in his cell were on 24 hours a day, and he could only sleep by covering his eyes with his face mask.

He further said he felt like a dissident in China, and that China is a threat to freedom across the world: "Everyone, including universities, journalists, and companies, are all being forced to adhere to Chinese standards."

Wong stressed that even if he, ex-Demosisto chairperson Ivan Lam, and ex-member Agnes Chow were all sentenced to jail, Hong Kong's democracy movement would not be stopped.
