Sex blogger Alvin Tan who jumped bail is applying for asylum status in the United States reported Channel News Asia.
Tan, 26, who claims to be in California, United States resurfaced on Facebook recently with a nude profile picture, although his privates are blocked off by a heart-shaped cartoon.
“I'm busy starting a new life here (in the US), apart from awaiting my final asylum hearing. I'm here to seek political refuge from the tyranny of UMNO - simple as that,” he told Channel News Asia in an interview on Facebook.
Tan, 26, and his co-blogger Lee, 25, claimed trial last year to three charges under the Film Censorship Act, Sedition Act and the Penal Code.
The two – famously known as the Alivivi pair – still face two charges under the Film Censorship Act and Sedition Act for a “Ramadan greeting” that was posted on their blog last year. Full story...
