SINGAPORE Democratic Party chief Chee Soon Juan and party supporter Yap Keng Ho have been cleared of three charges each of speaking in public without a permit.

The Attorney-General's Chambers on Thursday confirmed that the prosecution withdrew the charges last week and the Court ordered a discharge amounting to an acquittal.

The three charges were part of a set of eight similar ones filed against the two for their activities in the lead up to the 2006 General Election.

A trial date for the remaining charge is due to be set at a pre-trial conference next Tuesday.

The conclusion of that trial will bring to a close a series of cases that started soon after the May 2006 election. Both Chee and Yap had been found guilty of the four charges already heard.

Chee was jailed for 10 days because he did not pay the fine for the first conviction. He is appealing the other three convictions. Yap also refused to pay his fines and was jailed for a total of 35 days on different occasions for his convictions. Each charge carries a maximum fine of $10,000.
