Vincent Cheng is a Singaporean Catholic social worker who was detained without trial under Singapore's Internal Security Act (ISA) for 3 years.
In 1987, Vincent Cheng was one of the 22 Singaporeans branded as a "Marxist Conspirator" and arrested under Operation Spectrum. He was the last detainee to be released.
Vincent and his fellow detainees related some of their experiences, including physical torture[1], in the book, That We May Dream Again, published in 2009.
In 2010, he was barred from speaking at and attending a forum at the National Library of Singapore organised by the NUS History Society.[2] The NGO Singaporeans For Democracy (SFD) wrote an official letter of inquiry[3] to the Internal Security Department over the issue.
