Amos Yee released on bail, leaves Changi Prison Complex after completion of preliminary investigations

In 2015, Yee, then 16, was jailed in Singapore for wounding religious feelings by making remarks about Christians.

He was jailed again and fined about a year later for making remarks about Christians and Muslims.

Yee was granted asylum by the US in 2017, but fell foul of the law for possession of child pornography and grooming a minor in October 2020.

He was sentenced to six years’ jail after pleading guilty in the US in December 2021.

Halfway through his sentence, he was granted parole but was taken back into custody soon after for violating parole conditions.

In November last year, Yee was detained by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement after he was released on parole from the Danville Correctional Center in Illinois.

He was then deported to Singapore.

Under the Enlistment Act, NS defaulters could be jailed for up to three years and/or fined up to S$10,000 upon conviction.
