Thirty-two protesters from the Democracy Hub have filed a lawsuit against the Inspector General of Police (IGP) and the Attorney General and Minister for Justice, alleging violations of their human rights.
Represented by Madina MP Francis-Xavier Sosu, the protesters are requesting that the High Court uphold their fundamental rights, including freedom of movement, the right to protest, personal liberty, respect for human dignity, and freedom of expression.
Further, the lawsuit also seeks protection against unlawful and arbitrary arrests, detention, and malicious prosecution, as well as the rights to legal representation and bail pending trial.
The Ghana Police Service (GPS) accused the protesters of blocking roads, dismantling barriers, obstructing traffic, and damaging property at the 37 Roundabout in Accra.
These protesters were part of a group of 53 individuals take in during a demonstration that took place from September 21 to 23, which turned violent after clashes with police.
