HONG KONG—Hong Kong’s anti-corruption watchdog has charged a singer and prominent pro-democracy activist with “corrupt conduct” at a 2018 election rally, the latest legal action against dissent by authorities in the former British colony.

The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) said in an Aug. 2 statement that activist Anthony Wong had provided “entertainment to induce others to vote” for pro-democracy activist Au Nok-hin in a 2018 legislative council by-election.
