on 11 september, when civic activists began arriving in singapore, 27 activists were denied entry and had to leave the country. the police explained that these people were involved in violent demonstrations, including breaking into the world bank headquarters in washington d.c.. these individuals claimed that they had permission from the imf and world bank, but the police had stated that it is the local government's decision whether or not to allow them to enter the city state. later, the world bank and imf accused the singapore government of failing to allow the protestors into the country, with paul wolfowitz calling it a "going-back on an explicit agreement", saying that singapore had signed an open-access agreement or the memorandum of understanding in 2003. the world bank added that it is a "breach" of their agreement and they worked with them and also valued their role even when they disagree on their views. they were cleared by their home governments beforehand and the world bank believed that all of them should not be excluded from the annual meetings. the organising committee told the press, they were looking into the matter at that point of time and later condemned the restrictions as "authoritarian". at that time, the singapore police tried to contact the individuals via the world bank or the embassies in singapore, to prevent them from making a wasted trip to the country. on 15 september 2006, the singapore government announced that they will allow 22 out of the 27 banned activists into the country after reviewing the list of activists whose entry was subject to an interview if they entered the city-state. the organising committee said it reviewed the input provided by the imf and the world bank earlier that morning. the singapore government said on 20 september 2006 that its decision to lift the ban on 22 activists came before the public statement by world bank slamming it. in a letter carried in the wall street journal asia, home affairs ministry corporate communications director ong-chew peck wan clarified the sequence of events. she wrote: 'in order to be as helpful as possible, singapore reviewed the names whom the imf and world bank were prepared to vouch for and lifted the bans on 22 of them. we did this before the public statement by mr wolfowitz.' on another occasion, two filipino activists were deported back to their country on 13 september as they were not accredited by the imf/world bank, and could post a security and public order threat. it was after interviews and full consideration of the circumstances. at 0700 (gmt +8) of 14 september, an indian national was denied entry into the country, and has been deported by the police.
