Kirsten Han on Speaking Truth to Power in Singapore

Kirsten Han is a Singaporean activist and independent journalist, who runs a newsletter called We, The Citizens. As an activist and journalist in a country with very little civic space or room for dissent, Kirsten has found herself tangled up with the Singaporean authorities a number of times, in her fight for social justice. She joins us on the show to share her story.
