Asylum Application: Amos Yee and Multiethnic City-State

asylum application: Attorneys said he could be released from a Wisconsin detention centre as early as Monday, according to CTV. Judge Samuel Cole issued a 13-page decision Friday, more than two weeks after Yee's closed-door hearing on the asylum application. Amos Yee, 18, has been detained by federal immigration authorities since December when he was taken into custody at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. Yee has met his burden of showing that he suffered past persecution on account of his political opinion and has a well-founded fear of future persecution in Singapore, Cole wrote. He was accused of hurting the religious feelings of Muslims and Christians in the multiethnic city-state. Yee left Singapore with the intention of seeking asylum in the U.S. after being jailed for several weeks in 2015 and 2016. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
