Leg-irons


The sixteen year old Blogger first incarcerated here a week ago remains in jail for his offences: 
         1. insulting Christianity
         2. posting and transmitting an obscene image
         3. The third matter that had been originally mentioned and that likely led to a physical assault upon the lad as he entered a courtroom concerned an expletive-laden attack on the recently departed long-time PM Mr. LKY, whose party continues in power, helmed (as they say in the newspapers here) by his son.
         The DPP has announced it would relax bail conditions that might afford the boy release from jail if he would undertake psychiatric counseling. Refused by the feisty young rebel. 
         Yesterday the young lad brought to court in handcuffs and leg shackles. 

                                                                                                                        Straits Times 8 May 2015


NB. Oh dear! Further detail emerging the following day on the obscenity involved. According to the prosecution an image infringing the "acceptable bounds of public morality", where no scientific, educational or medical purposes (were) involved, indicated only a tendency to corrupt or deprave; to wit: some kind of photo-shop overlay of the faces of the recently defunct founding father of the Republic, Mr. LKY, and the melting former Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher onto a copulating couple.
Young lad remains at Changi.
