An Accra High Court has placed an injunction on the planned 3-day demonstration by pressure group democracy hub.
The action by the court follows concerns raised by the Police over the venue selected by the group for their demonstration, the frontage of the Jubilee House.
The court order which was issued today Wednesday 18th September 2024 therefore prohibits the group from embarking on their protest.
The demonstration by the group was planned for 21st to 23rd September 2024.
In a statement in July, Democracy Hub had announced their intention to address critical national issues, including socio-economic injustice, unemployment, rising poverty, state capture, nepotism, corruption, and the need for judicial independence through the protest. The group is also demanding the resignation of the Lands and Natural Resources Minister, Samuel Abu Jinapor and other ministers as well as heads of state agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for failing to protect the environment from destruction caused by illegal mining menace, popularly called galamsey. The group, known for its involvement in movements such as #FixTheCountry and #OccupyJulorbiHouse, had formally notified the Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, as required by the Public Order Act.
