Tang Fong Har, is a lawyer who was detained on 20 June 1987 by the government of Singapore during Operation Spectrum under the Internal Security Act. Her detention was speculated by many as a means to crush political dissidents. In her letter,〔(SW: A detainee remembers )〕 she states that she was physically abused, kept incommunicado and forced to admit guilt of subversion of state. It is speculated that her opposition to the ''Newspapers and Printing Presses Act and the Legal Profession (Amendment) Bill'' during her time at the Law Society of Singapore in 1986 was the reason for her detention. She was later released on 12 September 1987. Tang has accused Officer SK Tan of assaulting her during her interrogation and indefinite detention by the Internal Security Department.〔http://www.singapore-window.org/tfhmemo.htm 〕 Tang is currently wanted by the Singapore Police for having breached a condition under a special suspension direction when she failed to return to Singapore after she was granted permission to visit United Kingdom and Hong Kong between 7 March 1988 to 7 April 1988. 〔http://newspapers.nl.sg/Digitised/Page/straitstimes19880421.1.14.aspx〕 On October 8, 2011, Tang with exiled political dissident Francis Seow publicly addressed a Singapore Democratic Party forum from abroad via teleconference.〔http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_721444.html〕 In the address they advocated abolishing the Internal Security Act (ISA).
