Description
This is a story about risk and discomfort. Of how one of Singapore's fiercest voices has managed to blend advocacy and journalism, risking it all for change, time and time again, in a part of the world where risk can get you in trouble.
Kirsten Han, from the Mekong Review, puts herself on the frontline - time and time again. She's an ardent campaigner calling for Singapore to abolish the death penalty. But her activism has come at a cost. She's faced police intimidation, harassment, smear campaigns, and has been publicly targeted by government officials.
