Activists
tell their stories
31 May 07
Below
are essays that the activists who have been called up for police
questioning wrote when they participated in the 16 Sep and 10 Dec

These are ordinary Singaporeans who
have decided to stand up for their rights and exercise their
freedoms of speech and peaceful assembly.
They give
readers an understanding of why they did what they did and why
other Singaporeans have a similar duty to do the same.
