"Insulting Lee Kuan Yew": Which country has Singapore teenagers obtained political asylum?

Singapore teenager Yu Pengshan arrived in the United States last year to seek political asylum. An immigration judge in Chicago ruled on the 24th that Yu Pengshan could be granted political asylum in the United States. Yu Pengshan's lawyer said that Yu Pengshan was very happy to start a new life in the United States.

In the 13 page judgment, the judge agreed that Yu Pengshan had been persecuted for expressing his political views in the past, and he had every reason to worry that he would be persecuted again in Singapore in the future, so he decided to grant him refugee status.

Yu Pengshan was sentenced to prison for insulting the late Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew and slandering Christianity in Singapore. After he was released from prison, he flew to Chicago airport in June 5438+February last year, and was immediately detained by the American authorities. The US Department of Homeland Security has always opposed the approval of Yu Pengshan's asylum application, arguing that the Singapore government is legally suing, and the Singapore Embassy in Washington has not responded for the time being. Yu Pengshan's lawyer estimated that he could be released as early as 27th.
