In Singapore Jehovah's witnesses are outlawed, but if you insult Christianity as a whole you will go to prison lol. SIngapore still canes people and they have the mandatory death penalty for crimes like drug dealing. Detainment without trial, torture, abduction, are common as well as having one of the highest execution rates in the world.

They do allow protests at one place called Hong Lim park
