The police said some had previously been investigated for similar offences.
Six individuals, aged between 31 and 70, are set to face charges on September 28 for their alleged involvement in unlawful public assemblies and processions at Changi Prison, according to the Straits Times. Four of the group members have prior convictions for similar offenses. The proceedings, held outside the State Courts in February 2025, resulted in charges under the Public Order Act.
The six individuals, including a 31-year-old man and a 56-year-old woman, will face multiple charges for participating in public assemblies without permits. The police have warned the public to apply for police permits before organizing such gatherings and stated that those found guilty can face fines up to $10,000 or imprisonment for up to six months.
