CDD condemns police for arrest of Democracy Hub protesters [Video]

The Ghana Center for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) has strongly condemned the decision to remand 28 protesters of Democracy Hub, along with 11 others who were sent to prison, following a ruling by the Accra Circuit Court on Tuesday, September 24.

The demonstrators were charged with conspiracy to commit a crime, specifically unlawful assembly.

In a press release dated Thursday, September 26, CDD-Ghana labelled the court’s decision a grave abuse of power, criticising the police for failing to handle the situation with the necessary restraint and respect for the protesters’ rights.
