		A number of international civil society groups are drafting a letter to the government of Singapore to dissuade the country from vows that its chief security official made against their activities.
		Singapore's Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng had reportedly said that certain civil society actions may "attract severe punishment, including caning and imprisonment" in this southeast Asian country where a political gathering of more than four people requires a security permit.
		Activists interpreted this as a more or less veiled threat towards civil society organisations and wrote a letter to be sent to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, possibly later this week, asking him to roll back the warning and allow full access to the groups during the Sept. 19-20 meetings.

	IBIA : International Biometric Industry Association (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		WITH terrorism remaining the greatest threat to global security — despite a law enforcement crackdown — government-to-government partnerships should move beyond information sharing to sharing of best practices and technology for counter-terrorism defences.
