The Singaporean man who many in his country remember for his controversial rants insulting founding leader Lee Kuan Yew has been deported from the US to face charges back home.
Amos Yee was granted asylum in the US in 2017 after being imprisoned twice in Singapore over videos that criticised state authorities and religion.
But in 2020, he was again jailed in the US for possessing child pornography and grooming a 14-year-old girl. Immigration authorities took custody of Yee in November after he was released on parole.
The 27-year-old is due to appear before a Singapore court on Friday and is expected to be charged for skipping mandatory military conscription, according to court documents.
It is unclear if he faces further charges in Singapore beyond breaching the conscription law.
