HONG KONG - Three young Hong Kong dissidents including Joshua Wong were remanded into custody on Monday after pleading guilty to inciting a rally during last year's pro-democracy protests, deepening the crackdown against Beijing's critics.

'Add oil!' Once inside, Wong pleaded guilty to inciting and organising an illegal assembly. Lam, 26, pleaded guilty to incitement while Chow, 23, admitted inciting and joining the protest. 'Mentally prepared' Despite his youth, Wong has already spent time in prison for leading democracy protests and told reporters that he was ready to return.

Wong was jailed for his involvement in those protests, alongside most of that movement's main leaders.
