Amos Yee is back in the news after being arrested by the US police for child porn related charges. If Amos Yee is convicted with these child porn charges, his asylum status could potentially be terminated.

After a few years away from the online spotlight, Amos Yee is back online and has now renaming himself as the Polocle - a combination of his favourite words “polymath” and “oracle”. In a new blog post, Amos Yee shed more light on the infamous video 'Lee Kuan Yew is Finally Dead' that got him into trouble with the law, and his subsequent incarceration, detention and finally, escape into the America to seek asylum.

A much anticipated public appearance by asylum seeker Amos Yee, who was recently released from jail after successfully being granted asylum status in the USA in September, has been cancelled by its organizers Harvard College Open Campus Initiative (HCOCI).

Singaporean Lee Yue Heng wrote an open letter to Amos Yee to question the purpose of his criticisms. He is against criticism stemming from hate and urged Amos to go about constructive criticism that is intended to make Singapore a better society.

US activist who was helping Amos Yee with his asylum application congratulated him on being freed. She thinks his views are shaped by his experience and said he should not, as a result, be forced to conform to authority just because of this.

A federal immigration appeals court in the US has granted Amos Yee an asylum bid, echoing a Chicago immigration judge's decision to grant Yee the right to stay in the US after fleeing from Singapore citing political persecution.

Some say the US Immigration Board of Appeal has granted asylum to Amos Yee. He was earlier granted asylum in March but the decision was subsequently appealed against by the US immigration. Good for him?

Our “speech laws” or rather, arguably the laws that may curtail the freedom of expression, may be the most restrictive in the world.

Activists in support of Amos Yee in the US have given an update on his status in prison, where he is still incarcerated while awaiting his trial to attain asylum in America.

LGBT rights are human rights. It is shameful in this day and age that many countries, including Singapore, continue to deny basic rights to the LGBT. It is shameful that President Donald Trump holds more progressive views on LGBT rights than many Singaporeans do.
