Singapore (52th Session)

This submission outlines concerns regarding Singapore’s restrictions on freedom of religion or belief and freedom of expression. These concerns stem from specific legal frameworks, including the Maintenance of Religious Harmony Act, Societies Act, Penal Code, Undesirable Publications Act, and Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (POFMA). In ADF International’s analysis, several provisions within these laws are inconsistent with Singapore’s human rights obligations.
