Bail has been granted by the Kaneshie District Court to Shalimar Abbiussi, the New Force spokeswoman. The woman, who appeared in the group’s campaign film, is accused of making a fraudulent statement to get a student permit.
The film, among other things, questioned the leadership’s responsibility in resolving the problems of the populace by highlighting the suffering of Ghanaians under the Akufo-Addo administration and drawing attention to recent demonstrations.
She was brought to the courthouse premises this morning by National Bureau of Investigation personnel. According to a news release issued by New Forces on December 7, Ms. Abbiusi’s arbitrary incarceration raises severe concerns about misuse of power, persecution of political opponents, and other abuses of human rights.
