<text>  Hong Kong CNNA 16-year-old teenager has been charged for a tirade he posted on YouTube regarding the death of the late Singapore leader, Lee Kuan Yew. Amos Yee, a moppy-haired teenager posted an online video peppered with expletives that slammed the late leader, who died last week, as a horrible person and undoubtedly totalitarian. He also made comments comparing Lee to Jesus Christ and Mao Zedong. Lee, highly revered in Singapore was buried Sunday with thousands gathering in a massive state funeral service. While admired for his role turning the former British colony into a financial power house, Lee was also criticized for tamping down on free speech in Singapore. On the day of Lees funeral, Yee was arrested after Singapore police said it received more than 20 reports regarding his video, which police said contained disparaging remarks against Christians. That YouTube video has since been removed. Critics say Yees arrest highlights the restrictions on free speech in Singapore. The Committee to Protect Journalists called for the teens immediate release. Yee faces three charges: intent to wound the religious feelings of any person; circulating obscene objects; and making threatening and abusive or insulting communications. He could face up to three years in prison. Deputy Commissioner of Police Tan Chye Hee said: Police take a stern view of acts that could threaten religious harmony in Singapore. Any person who uploads offensive content online with deliberate intention of wounding the religious or racial feelings of any person will be firmly dealt with in accordance with the law. The Strait Times newspaper reported that Yees bail was set at 14,500 and that Yees father apologized to Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who is the son of Lee Kuan Yew.
