Singapore banned Jehovah's Witnesses, and continues to do so as of September 2007.

Singapore has joined North Korea, communist China, and a handful of Islamic totalitarian regimes in banning (rather than merely restricting) these peaceful Christians. Even Cuba lifted its ban against Jehovah's Witnesses, but Singapore refuses to do so.

Singaporean Jehovah's Witnesses must use the same strategies as their brothers did in Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia, and thus cannot disclose the locations of their Christian meetings. Like those dictatorial regimes, Singapore prefers military prison for its conscientious objectors, rather than simply compelling some alternate nonmilitary service.
