Tangaraju Suppiah's death sentence was carried out on Apr 26 after being convicted of abetting the trafficking of more than 1kg of cannabis.
Under the POFMA order, activist Kirsten Han, lawyer M Ravi, Transformative Justice Collective , The Online Citizen Asia and TOC co-founder Andrew Loh are required to carry a correction notice alongside their publications, said the Ministry of Home Affairs in a press release on Friday .
Mr Ravi published two Facebook posts on Apr 20 and Apr 27, while TOCA published posts on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter on Apr 28, and an article on its website on the same date.MHA said the social media posts and articles contained"false statements" about the capital sentence that was given to Tangaraju, including being denied an interpreter during the recording of his statement and that he was later found to be not guilty.
"The High Court found this bare allegation, raised for the first time during Tangaraju’s cross-examination, to be disingenuous given Tangaraju’s admission that he had made no such request for any of the other statements subsequently recorded from him. "Tangaraju’s then counsel was informed, before the appeal was heard, that Steven Chong was the Attorney-General when decisions were taken in respect of his case," MHA said.
