Singapore student, 17, held under ISA for supporting Islamic State

He posted defaced images of President Halimah Yacob and had called for her to be beheaded, Singapore government says. FMTNews

The Singapore government said the student believed in the cause of the Islamic State extremist group.

He was detained last month, the ministry said, after being first investigated in September 2017 when he was only 15, for posting defaced images of President Halimah Yacob on social media. He had also called on Islamic State to behead her for supporting Singapore, which he viewed as an “infidel” state.

The ministry said despite its efforts since 2017 to steer him away from the radical path, he remained a staunch supporter of ISIS.
