#Singapore: The upcoming trial of a 17 y.o. blogger over posts he made on his Facebook & comments in his blog is deeply worrying and a sign of the increasedcriminalization of expression in the country, warned UN expert David Kaye. The teenager faces charges that his Facebook posts & blogposts wounded the religious feelings of Muslims and Christians. The trial, at which he will defend himself, is scheduled for Wednesday, 17 August. If convicted, he may face up to 3 yrs in jail. Last year, the blogger was sentenced to 4 weeks in prison for posting a video that caricatured Singapore’s first Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew.
“Tolerance & the rights of others are legitimate aims for any state to pursue. However, the criminalization of a broad range of legitimate, even if offensive, expression is not the right tool for this purpose, and may well have the opposite effect,” the UN expert stressed. “International human rights law allows only serious and extreme instances of incitement to hatred to be prohibited as criminal offences, not other forms of expression, even if they are offensive, disturbing or shocking.” http://ow.ly/5lBn303fBdi

曾因拍片批評開國總理李光耀及耶穌，入獄55日的新加坡少年余澎杉，早前再度因網上發表言論被控以六項「傷害宗教感情」、兩項「未遵指示到警署報到」，案件今日在新加坡法院開審。余澎杉否認八項控罪，未有律師代表，將會自辯。大馬《東方日報》報道引述消息稱，余澎杉曾嘗試委託律師，但沒有律師願意代表他。
聯合國人權事務高級專員辦事處（UNHCR）昨日發表聲明，指余澎杉案顯示新加坡的以言入罪問題越來越嚴重，呼籲外界關注案件。
