Singapore said yesterday five alleged Singaporean members of the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) militant network have been released.
Three of them were released in March after being held for two years under Singapore's Internal Security Act (ISA), the Ministry of Home Affairs said.
The three, previously detained in Malaysia, were arrested when they were deported to Singapore and subsequently held under the ISA, the ministry said in a statement posted on its website.
It said another two alleged Singaporean JI members, who were detained in September 2002, were released on Sunday.
All five are under restriction orders which limit their movements and activities, the ministry said.
"The five men had been cooperative in investigations and shown progress in rehabilitation, including religious counselling, and were assessed to no longer pose a security threat that required detention," the ministry said.
