This morning, around fifty of us joined Jolovan at the same court as he faces a total of ten charges, most of which for candlelight vigils for death row prisoners. It was energizing to be amongst fellow citizens, coming together in strength and perseverance.
From Changi Prison to Palestine, we say: No more blood on our hands! Stop the killing of vulnerable drug trade users / workers and Palestinians. And stop the prosecution of those seeking justice! We remain steadfast and strong in our fight, until all of us are free.

More than 300 people turned up before the State Courts yesterday to support six people facing multiple charges for carrying out peaceful activities that oppose the genocide in Palestine. This is historic because never in the history of activism in Singapore in recent decades have so many come together to support activists being charged in court.
I am deeply saddened, angry and hopeful at what is happening before our eyes.
I am sad that Singaporeans, after more than 60 years of independence are treated worse than colonized people. We have no right to freedom of speech, expression and assembly. I am angry that the state has deemed it fit to investigate and prosecute peaceful activists and waste the precious time of our judiciary.

Singapore must protect public order, public safety, and social cohesion. But laws meant to deal with genuine threats must not turn peaceful conscience, mourning and public expression into criminal matters by default. Can Singapore preserve order without over-criminalizing peaceful expression? Can we protect cohesion without demanding quiet obedience? Can we uphold the law while ensuring that it remains fair, proportionate and worthy of public respect?

Singapore ga-echebe usoro ọha, nchekwa ọha, na njikọ aka ọha. Mana iwu ndị e mere iji lụso ihe iyi egwu dị adị ọgụ agaghị agbanwe akọnuche udo, iru újú na nkwupụta ọha ka ọ bụrụ ihe gbasara mpụ n'enweghị nsogbu.

Ànyị nwere ike ịkwado iwu ahụ ma hụ na ọ ka dị mma, dabara adaba ma kwesị nsọpụrụ ọha?

Gathering in a vigil to mourn the death of a fellow human being and to protest against such a draconian law cannot be a crime.
Continuing to exert such mindless and total control over young Singaporeans and preventing them from expressing peaceful dissent is a one-way ticket to decline in a world where free expression and innovation are essential for us to rise above the machines.

Criminalizing such activities is a clear violation of the rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly and the latest chapter in a long-standing campaign against activists and human rights defenders in the country.
The prosecution of individuals for peacefully expressing their views and assembling in support of human rights causes raises serious concerns about the continuing restrictions on the rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly in Singapore.
