In
April 2008, charges were lodged against a Singaporean
couple, Ong Kian Cheong (50) and Dorothy Chan Hien Leng
(45), for distributing Christian publications that
allegedly cast Mohammed in a "negative light".
The couple was found guilty of sedition on May 28, 2009
a charge which carries a jail term of up to three years,
a fine of up to 5,000 Singaporean dollars, or both. The
court claimed that the distributed publications
"promoted feelings of ill-will and hostility between
Christians and Muslims.”
