Dear Minister,

CONCERN ABOUT HARASSMENT OF MARTYN SEE

I am writing to express concern about harassment of Martyn See, the threat of his prosecution under the Films Act, and restrictions on freedom of expression, including artistic freedom.

I call for an end to the misuse of restrictive laws, including the Films Act, which can serve to punish perceived government opponents and to deter Singaporeans from expressing dissenting political opinions and participating in public life.

I would like to state that freedom of expression is a fundamental right protected by international human rights instruments, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Yours sincerely,

(Your Name/Location)
