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 charges relate to demonstrations calling for an end to capital punishment, a deeply contested issue in the city-state, where the death penalty remains in force for drug trafficking and murder. Details of the actors' identities and the specific charges have not been widely reported yet, but the case is drawing attention to restrictions on protest activity in Singapore.
Why now: The involvement of well-known TV figures in criminal charges over political protest is unusual and raises questions about free speech in Singapore.
