SINGAPORE: Teen blogger Amos Yee Pang Sang was on Monday (Jun 6) been sentenced to four weeks' jail, backdated to Jun 2.
Yee was found guilty of two charges - one for making offensive or wounding remarks against Christianity and another for circulating obscene imagery. A third charge, for the teen blogger's statements on the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew in a YouTube video, was withdrawn.
The 16-year-old has been remanded at the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) for the past two weeks to assess his suitability for a mandatory treatment order, after a doctor said that Yee may have autism-spectrum disorder.
His lawyer Alfred Dodwell on Sunday night confirmed reports that the blogger was in hospital. Yee has "not been eating well, perhaps loss of appetite or no appetite, understandably so and hence his blood sugar went down," he said.
