All of them are Singaporean, except for Kyal Sin Linn Naing, who is a Myanmar national and a Singapore permanent resident.<\/p>\n
Tay allegedly chanted the phrase, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” during an event that was livestreamed the same day.<\/p>\n
She also allegedly participated in a walk from Novena MRT to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) to deliver a letter on June 7, 2024, along with Kyal Sin Linn Naing, both wearing a shirt that stated: “There are no universities left in Gaza”.<\/p>\n
On Oct 27, 2024, Nurul Afiqah, Dayana, Nur Sabrina and Amirah purportedly organised a mass kite-flying event without a permit at Marina Barrage to raise awareness of the Gaza conflict.<\/p>\n
Nur Sabrina was said to have used abusive behaviour towards a public servant following this event.<\/p>\n
Separately, Tay also has offences relating to candlelight vigils held in November 2024 and January 2025 regarding the execution of three drug traffickers on death row.<\/p>\n
She had then allegedly refused to answer a public servant authorised to question on two counts, and was also reportedly involved in a protest outside the State Courts on Feb 3, 2025.<\/p>\n
