ADAM-GH notifies Police of their intended demonstration against the Police on Oct 15th

Civil society organisation Anchoring Democracy Advocacy Movement Ghana (ADAM-GH) has formally notified the Police and the Minister of Interior about their intention to peacefully protest against the law enforcement agency.
The demonstration is scheduled to take place on October 15, 2023.
ADAM-GH stated that the purpose of the protest is to shed light on recent unlawful arrests and detentions of citizens during the #occupyjulorbihouse demonstration.
They also aim to highlight the continuous denial of citizens' right to protest or demonstrate and emphasise citizens' right to demonstrate without requiring permission from the Police or any other state institution.
They highlighted that citizens are only required to notify the police, who should provide necessary protection, but the police have failed to fulfill this obligation, breaching the law.
Furthermore, the demonstration aims to draw attention to eight innocent Ghanaians who were killed during the 2020 general elections without any action taken to bring the perpetrators to justice.
Additionally, the protest will shed light on allegations by Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong that Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia knows the killers of undercover Journalist Ahmed Suale and address concerns about selective justice by the police.
ADAM-GH shared the proposed route and activities for the day, including starting at Obra Spot Circle, moving through Sankara interchange to the Ministry of Interior to submit a petition, proceeding to Police headquarters to submit another petition to the IGP, and addressing the media in the police inner court.
The protest is set to conclude at 1:00 PM.
