Well, at least U.S. activists haven’t been deported… yet.

From the Associated Press:

Singapore deported three animal rights advocates who planned to stage a semi-naked protest outside a Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) outlet in the city-state, authorities and the activists said…

Singapore has been tightening security measures ahead of the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank on September 19 to 20.

Singapore says it will strictly bar outdoor demonstrations, which even under normal circumstances are rarely seen in the city-state because of tight restrictions on expression.
