Thio Li-ann

Thio Li-ann (born 10 March 1968) is a Singaporean law professor at the National University of Singapore and a former Nominated Member of Parliament (2007–2009). She has attracted international attention and criticism for public remarks opposing the repeal of Singapore's former law criminalising sex between men (Section 377A), which many have likened to hate speech. In 2009, after protests by some students and alumni over her statements, she withdrew from a planned visiting professorship at New York University School of Law. Provided by Wikipedia
