SINGAPORE: The police have released an advisory to some student from the National University of Singapore (NUS) who held up a good anti-death penalty sign throughout his graduation ceremony in July.
“In response to media queries, the authorities, in consultation with all the Attorney-General’s Chambers, have issued a created advisory to a 24-year-old man for holding an anti-death charges sign at the NUS commencement ceremony on Jul 6 at the NUS Cultural Center Auditorium, ” said the police on Friday (Sep 9).
The man, Luke Levy, on Tuesday tweeted photos of what appeared to be the police advisory.
They demonstrated the police noting that their investigations in to the case have been finished and that they have decided to consider no further actions against Mr Levy.
“You are usually hereby advised in order to refrain from such conduct in future, ” the advisory in the photo read.
Describing this being a “metaphorical finger-wag” in his Twitter post, Mr Levy admitted which he had been anxious whilst “waiting for months” to find out what actions the police would take.
“But I actually knew that this got people talking about the death penalty, ” he said. “That eased my anxiety. No regrets using what I did. ”
Mr Levy added that he would “keep fighting” against the passing away penalty.
