SINGAPORE - Civil rights activist Jolovan Wham is being investigated by the police for protesting outside the State Courts without a valid permit on Dec 13, 2018, said the police on Saturday .
"He was well aware that a police permit was required for such an event. Still, he went ahead to protest outside the State Courts on Dec 13, 2018," said the police. "These repeated offences reflect a pattern of Wham's wilful disregard for Singapore's laws," said the police. The police said that during investigations, Wham refused on all occasions to sign his statements to the police, which is required by the law.
He was found guilty of organising an event called"Civil Disobedience and Social Movements" without a permit at the Agora, an indoor event venue, on Nov 26, 2016.
