A Singaporean news website, The Online Citizen (TOC), is being made to pay for its independence, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) says. Two weeks after being ordered to pay the city state’s prime minister massive damages in a defamation suit, it is now threatened with imminent closure for allegedly violating media funding legislation.

If nothing is done, TOC will have to disable its website and social media channels at 3 p.m.
