National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress has slammed the current government for its insensitivity towards the democratic rights of the citizens of Ghana.
This follows assault and arrest of innocent citizens who decided to embark on a peaceful protest against the misrule of the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia NPP government.
The Communications Officer expressed strong dislike of how the government is pushing the security to mistreat innocent citizens who try to exercise their democratic rights. This was contained in a statement shared on his social media account today.
“Even more reprehensible is the fact that, some of the unlawfully arrested protestors have had their phones illegally siezed and have been subjected to beatings and all manner of inhumane and degrading treatments by the Ghana Police Service”, Lawyer Sammy Gyamfi said in his post.

The arrest of innocent citizens who decided to embark on a peaceful protest against the misrule of the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia/NPP government this morning, is not only unlawful but shameful and backward.
There cannot be any place for this odious abuse of fundamental human rights in any democratic country governed by the rule of law.
Even more reprehensible is the fact that, some of the unlawfully arrested protestors have had their phones illegally siezed and have been subjected to beatings and all manner of inhumane and degrading treatments by the Ghana Police Service.
Sadly, this heinous barbarism is happening under the watch and leadership of an IGP, who many thought will be different.
The NDC condemns this shameful conduct by the Ghana Police Service in no uncertain terms. And demand’s the immediate release of all the unlawfully arrested and detained protestors.
Mr. IGP; after all the support and goodwill you have enjoyed from Ghanaians since your appointment, we certainly deserve better from you.
Enough of the institutionalized tyranny!
Release the protestors NOW!
