An anti-death penalty activist group has been issued a correction order under Singapore's fake news law over its social media posts relating to the recent execution of three prisoners here.
On Nov 26, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said the posts had falsely claimed that the three men, Rosman Abdullah, Roslan Bakar and Pausi Jefridin, had been executed without regard for their intellectual and psycho-social disabilities.
The Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (Pofma) office issued a correction direction for activist group Transformative Justice Collective's (TJC) Facebook, Instagram and X posts made on Nov 20.
Ms Kokila Annamalai and Mr Rocky Howe were named as collaborators in TJC's Instagram post.
Ms Kokila is facing a probe for defying a separate Pofma order issued on Oct 5 to carry a correction notice in her social media posts about the legal processes for death row inmates.
She is accused of falsely claiming that the Government schedules and stays executions arbitrarily and without regard for due legal process, and that the state does not bear the legal burden of proving a drug trafficking charge against the accused.
