Go red on Friday - The journalist are urging

As part of efforts to put pressure on the government to reject the operations of the Lesbians, Gays, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ+ community, Journalists Against LGBTQ+ Ghana has urged all Ghanaians and its members to put on red attires or red armbands on Friday, 26 February 2021.

The decision to go red on Friday follows the suspension of their intended demonstration.

The demonstration was suspended after the Ghana Police Service indicated to them that Executive Instrument (E.I.) 395 restrict the group from embarking on the demonstration due to efforts to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The journalists also encouraged all its members to actively share their frustrations on their various social media platforms to intensify their demand that the government close down the LGBTQ office, declare the two diplomats; Australian High Commissioner and Danish Ambassador as persona non-grata and state firmly that the actions of the LGBTQ community in the country are "immoral and illegal".

“We urge all to go all red to ensure our demands see the light of day,” the journalists said in a statement.
