六名新加坡人,包括记者韩俐颖(Kirsten Han)以及《芙蓉姐姐》演员林启修和梁瑞莲,于周一被控参与公众集会。
Six Singaporeans, including journalist Kirsten Han and Phua Chu Kang actors Lim Kay Siu and Neo Swee Lin, were charged on Monday with taking part in public assemblies.
这些集会在禁止区域举行,其中一场在国家法院外举行,声援废除死刑;此外还有在樟宜监狱外为死囚举行的烛光守夜活动。
The assemblies were held in prohibited areas, with one held outside the State Courts in support of abolishing the death penalty, as well as candlelight vigils held outside Changi Prison for death row inmates.
被控的六人分别是:Annamalai Kokila Parvathi,38岁;Ten Leu Jiun Jeanne-Marie,56岁;Howe Wen Khong Rocky,31岁;韩俐颖,37岁;林启修,70岁;以及Neo Swee Lin Winifred,63岁。除Ten外,其余人均被控于2025年2月3日在国家法院外(属禁止区域)参与公众集会。
The six charged are Annamalai Kokila Parvathi, 38, Ten Leu Jiun Jeanne-Marie, 56, Howe Wen Khong Rocky, 31, Kirsten Han, 37, Lim Kay Siu, 70, and Neo Swee Lin Winifred, 63. All except Ten were charged with taking part in a public assembly outside the State Courts, a prohibited area, on February 3, 2025. Among them were married couple Neo and Lim. They previously starred in local sitcom Phua Chu Kang, with Neo playing the mother of the titular contractor and Lim playing Frankie Foo. More recently, the pair have performed music together, while Lim starred as the monk Gyatso in Netflix’s Avatar – The Last Airbender.
其中,梁瑞莲和林启修是一对夫妻。两人早年曾合演本地情景喜剧《芙蓉姐姐》,梁饰演同名承包商的母亲,林饰演Frankie Foo。近年来,两人合作表演音乐,林启修还在Netflix剧集《降世神通:最后的气宗》中饰演僧人Gyatso。
Ten was charged with attending two candlelight vigils at Changi Prison in November 2024. Howe, who faced the most charges of the lot, was charged with the State Courts assembly as well as attending three candlelight vigils at Changi Prison in November 2024 and January 2025.
Ten被控于2024年11月出席两场在樟宜监狱举行的烛光守夜活动。Howe面临最多控状,除国家法院外的集会外,还被控于2024年11月和2025年1月出席三场在樟宜监狱的烛光守夜活动。
Of the six charged on Monday, two had previously been investigated and warned before being charged. Another two were repeatedly involved in such cases despite being under investigation, the police said in a statement.
警方在声明中指出,周一被控的六人中,有两人此前曾被调查并获警告后才被控;另两人尽管正接受调查,却屡次涉及此类案件。
Police said Han had “numerous run-ins with the law”, including for public assemblies without permits in 2017 and 2022, obstructing justice in 2022 and a public procession in June 2024.
警方称,韩俐颖与法律“有过多次交集”,包括2017年和2022年未获准证举行公众集会、2022年妨碍司法公正,以及2024年6月的公众游行。
Annamalai was previously convicted of organising a public procession along the Istana and for public assemblies held in 2017 and 2021. Howe was issued a stern warning for taking part in public assemblies without a permit in March and April 2022, and for obstructing justice in March 2022, police said.
Annamalai此前曾因在总统府一带组织公众游行,以及2017年和2021年的公众集会被定罪。警方称,Howe于2022年3月和4月因未获准证参与公众集会,以及2022年3月妨碍司法公正,曾获发严厉警告。
Annamalai was previously convicted of organising a public procession along the Istana and for public assemblies held in 2017 and 2021. Howe was issued a stern warning for taking part in public assemblies without a permit in March and April 2022, and for obstructing justice in March 2022, police said. Ten had been issued a stern warning in April 2022 and in September 2026, they added.
六人此前于2022年4月和2026年9月两度收到严厉警告,律师补充道。
Lawyer Derek Wong appeared for five of the six, with Howe unrepresented. Wong also mentioned the cases on behalf of other lawyers representing Neo, Lim and Annamalai.
律师黄德伟(Derek Wong,音译)代表六人中的五人出庭,而郝伟(Howe,音译)则未委托律师。黄律师也代表其他代理梁智伟(Neo,音译)、林某(Lim,音译)和安纳马莱(Annamalai,音译)的律师陈述案情。
He said he was just instructed and asked for time to take instructions, which was granted. He asked that his clients be released without bail, saying they faced offences punishable only with fines. He also sought a personal bond instead of bail.
他表示刚刚受托,请求时间进一步征询当事人指示,获准后,他请求让其当事人毋须保释即获释放,理由是他们面临的罪行仅处以罚款。他也申请以人身担保代替保释。
District Judge Wong Peck declined the requests and issued bail sums of S$5,000 (US$3,900) for each of the five. Howe similarly asked to be released without bail or on a personal bond instead. When Judge Wong told him that she would be issuing bail for him as well, he argued that bail was to be offered at the court’s discretion.
区法官黄碧(Wong Peck,音译)驳回了上述请求,并为五人各设定5000新元(约合3900美元)保释金。
“It’s my discretion,” the judge said. “Yes, but discretion should be exercised lawfully,” Howe answered.
郝伟同样申请毋须保释获释,或以人身担保代替保释。当黄法官告知她也将为他设定保释金时,他辩称保释应由法院酌情决定。“这是我的裁量权,”法官说。“是的,但裁量权应依法行使,”郝伟回答。
“I am exercising my discretion,” Wong said, signalling that her decision was final. The cases for all six were adjourned to October.
“我正在行使我的裁量权,”黄法官说,示意她的决定为最终决定。全体六人的案件均展期至10月审理。
Earlier this month, another eight people were charged over prohibited processions or assemblies – including activists Jolovan Wham and S. Suraendher Kumarr, who was charged last week. Wham is accused of organising the February 2025 assembly outside the State Courts publicising the cause of abolishing capital punishment in Singapore.
本月早些时候,另有八人因参与非法游行或集会被控上法庭——包括活动家曾伟强(Jolovan Wham,音译)和库马尔(S. Suraendher Kumarr,音译),后者于上周被控。曾伟强被控于2025年2月在国家法院外组织集会,宣扬废除新加坡死刑的诉求。
Large crowds attended the earlier court appearances, and queue poles had been set up at the State Courts on Monday for crowd control. There was some commotion when security guards prevented some in the group from entering without changing their shirts. Some of those present wore shirts with slogans or messages on them.
早前的几次过堂均吸引大批民众旁听,周一国家法院设置了排队栏进行人流管控。当保安阻止部分未更换衬衫的人员进入时,现场一度骚动。部分到场者身穿印有标语或字样的衬衫。
After a previous hearing drew hundreds of supporters, security allowed only those with a reason to enter the courtroom on Monday.
由于早前一次聆讯吸引数百名支持者,周一安保人员仅允许有正当理由进入法庭的人员入内。
For organising a public assembly in a prohibited area, a person could be jailed for up to six months, fined up to S$10,000, or both. For taking part in a public assembly without a permit, an offender can be fined up to S$5,000.
在禁止区域组织公众集会,可被判处最长六个月监禁、最高1万新元罚款,或两者兼施。未经许可参与公众集会的罪犯,可被处以最高5000新元罚款。
Police said that public assemblies or processions in prohibited areas without a police permit were subject to “even higher punishments”.
警方表示,未经警方许可在禁止区域举行公众集会或游行,将面临“更严厉的惩罚”。
“Individuals who have previously been warned or dealt with for breaches of the Public Order Act should not disregard such warnings,” said the police.
警方说:“曾因违反《公共秩序法》而受到警告或处理的人士,不应无视此类警告。”
They said members of the public should apply for a police permit before organising public assemblies, and those wishing to express their views but did not have a permit could consider doing so at the Speakers’ Corner.
他们表示,公众在组织公众集会前应申请警方许可,而希望表达观点但未获许可者,可考虑在“讲人讲场”这样做。本文首发于
