flag Three Singaporean women were acquitted of organizing an unlawful pro-Palestine protest near the Istana due to insufficient evidence of intent.

flag Three Singaporean women were acquitted on October 21, 2025, of organizing an unlawful pro-Palestine march in February 2024, after a court ruled the prosecution failed to prove they knew their route near the Istana was restricted. flag The peaceful protest, which drew about 70 people and aimed to urge Singapore to cut ties with Israel, occurred amid the ongoing war in Gaza. flag Despite facing up to six months in jail and a S$10,000 fine under the Public Order Act, the women were cleared due to lack of clear signage and evidence of intent. flag Their acquittal, rare in Singapore’s high conviction rate, sparked national debate on free expression and civic resistance in a tightly regulated society.
