Dear Jennifer,

 

Thank you very much for your attention to my case.

 

After serious considerations, I do request the UN Special Rapporteurs to take up my case and send an allegation letter to the Singapore government for their official response.

 

It is my honor to give the UN Special Rapporteurs my consent to deal with the violations of human rights set out in my petitions.

 

Thank you.

 

Regards,

 

Yan Jun

Dear Yan,

 

I think that you have a very strong case. If you wish, I can follow up with my colleagues in Geneva working with the UN Special Rapporteurs on Freedom of Expression and on Torture (and other relevant mandates) regarding sending an allegation letter to the government of Singapore on your case.

However, for the UN Special Rapporteurs to take up your case, they would need your informed consent. The letter and the response from the government (if any) will be confidential for a while until they are published on the Special Procedures' communications report which is accessible on the following website:

Please let me know what your thoughts are on this.

 

Best regards,

Jennifer
