Amos Yee to spend at least one night in remand; seen leaving court in handcuffs

SINGAPORE - Amos Yee, the 16-year-old who posted an online rant about Christianity and made an offensive video about Mr Lee Kuan Yew, was seen being led away in handcuffs following a pre-trial conference on Friday.

Apparently his parents decided against posting bail, which means Amos will have to spend at least one night in remand.

This was after District Judge Kessler Soh changed the $20,000 police bail Amos was on to a court bail during a late afternoon pre-trial conference (PTC), and ordered that only his parents be allowed to act as his bailors because of his age. The prosecution later asked the judge to not restrict the bailors to only his parents, and he agreed.

The judge also set several conditions as part of the bail during the PTC.

Amos was told to take down two Facebook posts made on April 14 along with a blogpost headlined "Donate To Help Amos Yee", through which he hoped to to raise $30,000 for legal fees. He was also required to make private his YouTube video on the late Mr Lee posted on March 27, and his blogpost showing obscene figures on March 28.

Meanwhile, he also has to undertake that while his case is ongoing, he will not post, upload, distribute or by an other means cause to be made visible or available any comment or content, whether directly or indirectly, to any social media or online service or website. He also has to report daily to the investigation officer or designated police officer at Bedok Police Division at 9am should he be out on bail.

Deputy Public Prosecutors Hon Yi and Kelvin Kow appeared for the State.

Mr Hon told the media that they did not ask for Amos' bail to be revoked. Neither did they ask for his parents to be specifically required to be the bailors.

Amos was charged last month with two charges under the Penal Code for transmitting obscene representation online and causing a video clip to be seen and heard which contained remarks against Christianity with the deliberate intention of wounding the religious feelings of Christians in general.

The last charge under the Protection from Harassment Act, accuses him of posting an insulting video clip online containing remarks about Mr Lee, which was intended to be heard and seen by people likely to be distressed by it.

His next pre-trial conference is on May 13. A bail review will be held on Tuesday.

How come the law is like that to take a 16 years boy ?????????
Amos still young and he speaks up the truth !!!!!!

die die must VTO PAP to free the justice system from abuse.

Hah... the kid actually challenged LHL to sue and dance with him... LHL just followed instruction. So following the kid's instruction is called bullying and not following the kid's instruction is called having no balls, then what do you expect LHL to do ? Kiss his forehead ?

Isn't this restriction too wide? Any comment or content? So can't even post comment that the weather is freaking hot and humid in Sinkieland? What the fark is the stoopid judge thinking? The restriction should be related to the alleged crime! For example "no comment or content on religion or LKY". Maybe this stoopid judge is an expert on sex toys and nothing else ..............

So, you mean that if Amos had actually challenged LHL to eat shit, LHL will also follow Amos' instruction to do so? No wonder LKY called people like you daft.

Rightfully, the parents should bail him out instead of letting him stay one night in remand. Do the parents know that he is just a "kid" ? He might need the milk bottle.

"A nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members." ~ Mahatma Ghandi

And to me that include minors under the age of 18.
History will surely judge people who treat minors so harshly

They assigned TWO prosecutors for this trivial case!!!!!!

He is indeed Famous Amos ...the PAP has to gun him down.

Youths of the world are invited to join Famous Amos to topple the PAP government.

“A civilization is measured by how it treats its weakest members” or “The greatness of a nation can be judged by how it treats its weakest member” often attributed to Mahatma Gandhi. However, Gandhi never said or wrote those words. There is a related quote where Gandhi is speaking about cruelty to animals: “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way in which its animals are treated. I hold that the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man.” The source of the quote is supposedly a speech given by Gandhi in 1931; but according to quotation sleuth Ralph Keyes, the words cannot be found in that speech. Nevertheless, this quote is often cited by animal rights organizations and advocates.

Indeed, it is so profound. Even a deaf man can differentiate the sounds of mourning and the sounds of jeering.

I think the parents are genuinely fearful of revenge and retribution from the pappies and the LKY fantards. Denying him bail is just an attempt to appease them, especially the PAP grassroots guy who threatened to cut off Amos' penis.

See? The climate of fear still persists even when the Old Fart has kicked the bucket.

If Amos comes out still anti-PAP, then he is ready for big things to come.

Wonder what the PAP had prepared for him to shake him up while in remand?

The judge in the pre-trial session is definitely ingratiating himself with the PAP by doing what he can to torture Famous Amos.

Damn the PAP.
