“废除《内部安全法令》”、“让政治流亡者安返祖国”, 这是所有正义人士的心声，也是1963年2月2日大逮捕行动50周年纪念会诸位同人的心愿。这里的文章、诗篇和图片记录了受害者的经历。从他们的叙述，不难看到他们坚持正义、维护自尊的崇高精神。希望更多国人得以从中了解50年前这段历史事件的时代背景与来龙去脉，以及废除《内部安全法令》的必要性与紧逼性。这本书也配合2013年2月2日假新加坡芳林公园——这个深具历史意涵的地点——举行的纪念大会而正式推出。
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.
