On Thursday, 40-year-old Brit Benjamin Glynn will be deported after being sentenced to six weeks in jail for four charges of failing to wear a mask in line with Covid restrictions. The Singapore Prison Service announced that Glynn was sentenced to six weeks behind bars after being convicted on Wednesday over four charges of refusing to wear a mask on public transport in May and at court appearance in July along with causing a public nuisance and threatening public servants.
He was released after his conviction for the time served while awaiting trial, including a two-week psychiatric assessment that the judge had ordered due to his conduct and remarks before the court. He represented himself calling the charges “unlawful” and demanding the return of his passport so he could return to the UK. However, the judge accused him of being “completely misguided” by believing he did not need to comply with the city-state’s Covid restrictions.
