- Singapore can be difficult to explain to outsiders. It's a largely efficient, developed Southeast Asian city-state, and its citizens have high levels of trust in the government, dominated by the same party for over six decades. However, civil liberties and rights are also heavily restricted, and the country's tiny civil society scene often face harassment, intimidation, and repression. Tracing the ways in which authoritarianism works in Singapore can provide insight into the more subtle and insidious forms that oppressive governance can take. Kirsten Han is a Singaporean journalist and activist who runs We, The Citizens, a newsletter covering Singapore from a rights-based perspective. She also regularly freelances for international media publications; her byline has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian, Foreign Policy, and more. She received an Honourable Mention in 2018 for the World Justice Project’s Anthony Lewis Prize for Exceptional Rule of Law Journalism, and a Human Rights Press Award in 2019 for her commentaries on "fake news" and freedom of expression. Outside of journalism, Kirsten is a member of the Transformative Justice Collective, where she advocates for Singapore to abolish the death penalty and move towards harm reduction and transformative justice approaches.
