Singapore to consider mercy in vandalism cases
Britain appeals for clemency for a Hong Kong teen tied to a vandalism spree alongside Michael Fay. Fay’s six lashes were cut to four after appeals from President Clinton. Other foreign teens may receive similar reductions if they petition the president. Fay’s current sentence includes four months in Queenstown Prison and a $2,244 fine. Shiu Chi Ho, 17, joined Fay in prison after choosing not to appeal a 12 lashes, eight months, and a $968 fine. Further reports describe Israeli police arresting a rabbi and followers after a standoff, and Remer, an 82 year old Nazi pamphleteer, fleeing to Barcelona to avoid prison for Holocaust denial.
