Police say pair ‘assisting with investigations’ after Dani Cuesta posted photo of himself with ‘Lim go home’ sign
A Spanish couple have been detained after the man held a banner to protest against Peter Lim, the billionaire Singaporean owner of Valencia football club.
Singapore has some of the world’s strictest rules around protests, even for demonstrations that involve only one person. Cuesta had posted on X that the couple were on their honeymoon, and planned to travel onwards to Bali, taking their “Lim go home” sign with them.when he took over the club in 2014, at a time when it was in crisis and debt-ridden, but any hopes he could restore the club to its former glory have long faded.
Singapore’s government says these rules are necessary to maintain law and order, though rights groups say they are used to stifle dissent and free speech.
