SINGAPORE: The High Court has dismissed applications by activist Kirsten Han in relation to a conditional warning she received last year for contempt of court over a Facebook post.

The Attorney-General's Chambers found that Ms Han's post amounted to contempt of court and sought the Singapore Police Force's assistance to convey a conditional warning in lieu of prosecution to Ms Han. DSP Seet told Ms Han that there was no need for a letter as the police could request her attendance without issuing one. Despite this, DSP sent Ms Han a letter via email and Ms Han went down to the police station on Oct 21, 2022, where she was given the warning.

Later that evening, Ms Han applied online for a copy of the First Information Report - referring to a written document prepared by the police when they receive information about the commission of an offence.
