Identity of ISA suspects should be protected

Ms Florence Veronica Minjoot says the press should run photographs of suspects nabbed under the Internal Security Act (ISA) of Singapore. (Publish photos of suspects detained under ISA; Nov 15).

I think otherwise.

We should let the authorities handle a case once it has come to their attention and to try to rehabilitate suspects.

Publishing their photos will drive them into a corner that may cause them to go back to their false ideologies and rejoin terrorist organisations.
