Singapore (AFP) - An Australian woman accused of fanning hatred of foreigners in Singapore on her website said Monday she would plead guilty to sedition, an offence punishable by jail.

Ai Takagi, 23, told a district court of her intention at the opening of what was to be a joint trial with her Singaporean husband Yang Kaiheng, 27.

She will return to court on Tuesday to enter her plea while her husband's trial will resume on Friday.

Yang and Takagi each face seven sedition charges for articles published between October 2013 and February 2015 on the socio-political website "The Real Singapore", which they were forced by regulators to shut down last year.

They were also charged with withholding documents on the website's advertising revenues from police.

If found guilty, Yang and Takagi could be jailed up to three years and fined up to Sg$5,000 ($3,620), or both, on each sedition charge.

They face one month in jail and up to Sg$1,500 in fines, or both, for withholding information from police.
