(1944- ; renamed in 1949 "to honor Edward O'Hare, the US Navy's first flying ace and Medal of Honor recipient in World War II")
(c) The top photo in the 德国之声 report was Mr Yee in 2015. He has grown fatter and older since, no longer with a baby face. The person in the second  photo is not Mr Yee.

(d) "余澎杉曾两次入狱。他被指2015年在网上发布消息，批评刚去世的李光耀及伤害宗教感情，被囚禁数周。2016年，他被指在网上发布视频讲话，侮辱回教徒和基督徒，再被囚禁六周。 [移民] 法官科尔 [Samuel COLE] 说，案件的证词表明，新加坡政府的真正目的是扼杀余的政治言论。"

(Mar 27, 2015 Yee uploaded a nearly nine-minute long video to YouTube titled "Lee Kuan Yew is Finally Dead!"/ convicted on May 12 and sentenced on July 6 (both in 2015) to 4 weeks: 1 week for the blog and 3 weeks for video // section 4 Second police investigation)
(A) The blog and video (8:38 in length) -- both in English -- was/ is archived in

(B) The blog at issue had/has an URL that is now restricted:
Amos Yee, Lee Kuan Yew Buttfucking Margaret Thatcher. May 28, 2015
https://amosyee.wordpress.com/20 ... -margaret-thatcher/

whose entire text, besides the cartoon, was/is of two paragraphs:

"This is a picture of Lee Kuan Yew buttfucking Margaret Thatcher. I made it. I have no frame of reference, but it is perhaps the 1st ever satirically sexual image of a political leader, in Singapore I encourage more fellow Singaporeans who have any artistic abilities, even if it is initially limited (as you can see, in my usage of paint.net), whether it be writing, drawings, videos, to satirize and make fun of, the once supposedly great dictator, Lee Kuan Yew, or any other subject matter or political leader which you once thought should have been kept taboo. And you can send it to me at brainandbutter@gmail.com, I would really be interested to see it. And if you feel like you are alone on this and everyone seems to be against you, overcome it, and you will be one of the first, and exceptionally unique, and you should be proud of that.

"And as more and more people indulge in this endeavor, it encourages more citizens to be able to openly criticize and make fun of their political leaders which in turn, leads to citizens to participate in an actual critical analysis and discussions of what they are talking about, not restricted to purely one-sided biased pandering formed by the social conditioning of the government, going to a funeral, and paying respects to a guy you hardly know.

* buttfucking = anal sex
(C) On June 23, 2015 a Singaporean committed Yee to Institute for Mental Health for two weeks for psychiatric evaluation.

(e) "The decision [to grant Yee asylum] represents the first time in years a Singaporean political dissident has applied for and received asylum in the West. The ruling, if not overturned by a US Department of Homeland Security appeal pwhich must be filed within thirty (30) days], could strain relations between the two strategic allies."
