S'porean actors Lim Kay Siu & Neo Swee Lin among 6 charged for public assembly without permit at Changi Prison & outside State Court

Six individuals, including actors Lim Kay Siu and Neo Swee Lin, were charged on September 28 under the Public Order Act for participating in unauthorized public assemblies at Changi Prison and outside State Courts. The charges stem from assemblies held between February and September 2024. Journalist Kirsten Han and activist Annamalai Kokila Parvathi were among those charged multiple times for similar offenses.

Despite prior warnings, actors Lim and Neo were also charged with participating in the same assembly. Supporters, including opposition politicians, were present in the public gallery, with some having to change their shirts due to political symbols.
