The three were charged under the Public Order Act for organising an assembly or procession without a permit on Feb 2, along the perimeter of the Istana, a prohibited area.
Attendees prepared letters issued to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at the Letters for Palestine event on Feb 2, 2024. The three are Annamalai Kokila Parvathi, 35, Siti Amirah Mohamed Asrori, 29, and Mossamad Sobikun Nahar, 25.
According to the Singapore Police Force, the women had allegedly organised a procession to show their support for the Palestinian cause, including soliciting attendance online. The watermelon colours are the same as those on the Palestinian flag and the fruit has become a symbol of Palestinian solidarity.
The police added that Annamalai had previously been issued a stern warning on Dec 5, 2017, and a 24-month conditional warning on Nov 30, 2021 for her involvement in other public assemblies without a permit.
