【教育部大楼外请愿】 红点同心党强调国人都有言论自由宪法权利

红点同心党就日前教育部大楼外的请愿活动,重申每个新加坡人都拥有言论自由的宪法权利。

日前五人在教育部大楼外示威,要求本地教育体制停止对跨性别学生的歧视,其中三人因未经批准下举行公众集会而被警方逮捕。

对此,红点同心党发表声明,对于和平集会而被捕的三人表示关切,并表示公民有言论自由表达的权利。

该党也引用了教育部长黄循财近日的说法,指政府正在加强国人之间的团结,为新加坡人创造更多参与决策进程的机会。

黄循财周一(25日)在新加坡政策研究所的会议中致辞时表示,“我认为这给我了我们一个宗旨,让我们对未来有共同感,也是我国未来持续繁荣的重要因素。”

黄循财也告诫国人,勿为自身利益进行游说试图影响他人,而忽略了利益攸关的事情。

对此,红点同心党表明,“这套说法仅适用于站在他的办公室门外的人。”

此外,红点同心党秘书长拉维也提出个人浅见,相信请愿者之所以会使用这样的方式,是因为他们感到了沮丧,无法言明感受,希望借此被听到。

“我们看到的并非是为了维护个人利益,而是试图保护一些权力被剥夺的新加坡人。”

根据美国的一项案例研究显示,性少数(LGBTQ+)的青少年自杀风险远高于其他青年,其中自杀原因是来自社会的压力。

因此,红点同心党强调,示威者的行为只是正在做力所能及的事,试图挽救和保护弱势的生命,并批评警方的干涉并没有什么意义,因为当时的示威是在下午5点后,即下班时间,这也意味着他们并未想要引起骚乱。

“我们还从新闻报道中得知,现场至少有十几名警察,有过度使用武力之嫌,浪费不必要的资源,因为当时三人是在和平集会。”

根据《公共秩序法》,在新加坡,即使是低至一人的小规模集会,对打压言论自由力度严苛,引起民众诟病。

红点同心党也就此事,向政府提出三步骤:

  1. 给新加坡人更多空间,尤其是为国人福祉着想的年轻人,创造更多平等和团结的空间
  2. 审视青年参加示威抗议的理由,并为他们提供更多关切。
  3. 对《公共秩序法》进行审视,采取必要措施防止过度使用。

最后,红点同心党也表明,该党成员之一Elijah Tay也是示威抗议的人之一,但他们仅代表个人立场参与示威。
