The Singapore Police on Tuesday has said that it is investigating social media posts showing people gathering without permission in support of protesting Indian farmers and issued a strong reminder that it would not allow assemblies that advocate political causes of other countries.
Thousands of farmers are currently camped at Delhi's borders with Haryana and Uttar Pradesh since November 26 in protest against three new farm laws enacted in September. "The police did not grant any permits for these cause-based assemblies," the authorities in Singapore said in a news release on Tuesday. The Singapore Police Force (SPF) also issued a "strong reminder" that "organising or participating in a public assembly without a police permit in the city-state is illegal", adding that it would not grant any permit for assemblies that advocate political causes of other countries.
Statement from a news agency quoting Singapore Police Force said "Foreigners visiting or living in Singapore should abide by our laws. Those who break the law will be dealt with firmly, and this may include termination of visa or work passes, where applicable".
