The Esher and Walton MP and Foreign secretary Dominic Raab has promised to defend the rights of people in Hong Kong

The Esher and Walton MP and Foreign secretary Dominic Raab has promised to defend the rights of people in Hong Kong.

 It's as a leading pro-democracy activist faces up to five years in prison.

 Joshua Wong has pleaded guilty to leading a demonstration last year, which saw protestors throwing eggs and spraying graffiti at the region's police headquarters.

 The 24-year-old says imprisonment won't stop him speaking his mind.

 Campaigners have faced repeated arrests since China imposed a new national security law restricting political speech.
