Dame urges bail for arrested Democracy Hub protesters
The Attorney- General and Minister for Justice, Mr Godfred Yeboah Dame, has called on prosecutors to consider granting bail to members of the Democracy Hub group, who were recently arrested for unlawful assembly following protests in Accra.
Authorities have claimed that the demonstrations exceeded the limits of lawful assembly.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Association of Magistrates and Judges of Ghana, Mr. Dame stressed the importance of upholding legal standards while ensuring that justice is delivered promptly.
He urged the police to expedite their investigations into the case, aiming to conclude the probe before the next court hearing.
"I urge the police service to swiftly conclude investigations by the next adjournment and exclude all those against whom sufficient evidence cannot be found," he said, emphasizing the need for those not implicated by sufficient evidence to be discharged without delay.
Additionally, the Attorney-General advised the prosecution to consider relevant bail applications for the detained protesters, ensuring that the legal process respects their rights while balancing the need for public order.
