Abolish the Internal Security Act (ISA) and let those who were banished or exiled come home. This is the cry of those who believe in justice, democracy and human rights, as well as the hope of those commemorating the 50th anniversary of Operation Cold Store, which was mounted on 2 February 1963 in Singapore. The articles, poems and photographs in this volume share the pain, sufferings, experiences and thoughts of those who were unjustly imprisoned without trial. This book was launched on the exact day of the 50th anniversary, 2 February 2013, at the historic Hong Lim Park. May more people understand the importance and urgency for the abolition of the ISA and make it possible for the return of political exiles to their beloved country and the embrace of their families in the near future.
