Singaporean TV actors charged over death penalty protests
Two Singaporean television actors have been charged in connection with protests against the death penalty in Singapore. The case has drawn attention because of the country's strict laws on public demonstrations and its continued use of capital punishment, which human rights groups have repeatedly criticised. Details of the specific charges and the actors' identities were not immediately clear.
Why now: The involvement of well-known television actors in politically sensitive charges has drawn public attention.
