Muhammad Hanif Mohamed Huzairi, 31-years-old, was sentenced to 7 months jail earlier today (22 April), after pleading guilty to one count of using threatening words towards a public servant under the Protection from Harassment Act.
He had threatened a High Court judge and the Singapore judiciary on Instagram, after the judge dismissed challenges against Section 377A of the Penal Code, which is a law that criminalises sex between men.
Hanif also pleaded guilty to 2 counts of communicating an electronic record containing an incitement to violence.
He had aimed his insults at Justice See Kee Oon, to dismissed the appeals to repeal Section 377A.
Hanif was very upset and felt the judges had to be replaced.
On 30 March 2020, at about 4pm, he posted on Instagram:
“To the deadass boomer of a judge who dismissed the challenges against S377A, you better… watch out!!”
He then commented the following on Pink Dot SG’s Instagram post:
“Time to hunt down the oppressive judges, who basically maintained the legalisation of discrimination against us, and make them pay the ultimate price.”
He then posted another sotry on IG:
“Can we please torture the corrupted judges until they f****** crumble & repeal S377A on the spot!? Pretty please, I’d love to personally torture them to their breaking point.”
A police report was then lodged against him that same day, at about 11.30pm.
