Spanish couple held in Singapore over football protest
Briefly

"The idea of doing the honeymoon in Singapore was my wife's but when we arrived, I had this lightbulb moment. We spent all morning going around with the banner, taking photos in front of famous spots. My intention was never to make a political statement; it was about the situation with Valencia CF and expressing our frustration as fans. When the photos went viral, it felt surreal; it was amazing to see so much support from fellow fans."
"Singapore has some of the world's strictest laws on public assembly, which includes assemblies even of one person. The government argues these laws are essential for maintaining order and safety in a city known for its low crime rates and high levels of public security. However, this has raised concerns about freedom of expression, especially during incidents like this, where a simple protest turned into a matter of international attention."
