"Joshua Wong is a brave and inspirational young leader." - GRETA THUNBERG

Detained on December 2, 2020, for the third time, read the urgent and powerful story of Joshua Wong - the Hong Konger fighting for democracy.

Unfree Speech is Joshua's urgent call to defend our democratic values, no matter who we are. It chronicles his journey into political activism, gathers the letters he wrote as a political prisoner, and concludes with a powerful and urgent manifesto to defend our democracies in an era of global fluidity and change.

Joshua Wong made history at the age of 14. While adults remained silent, Joshua organized Hong Kong's first student protest to oppose National Education - and won. Since then, he has led the Umbrella Movement, founded a political party, and mobilized the international community around the protests in Hong Kong, with 2 million people taking to the streets. Now he is imprisoned again. His actions have drawn global attention and earned him nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize as he continues to fight for what he believes in. His message is clear: when we stay silent, no one is safe. When we unleash our voice, our voice becomes one.
