The three-day #FreeTheCitizens and #StopGalamseyNow demonstration began on Thursday, October 3, in Accra.

The protest is aimed at demanding the immediate release of 53 Democracy Hub protesters who were arrested during an anti-galamsey demonstration last week.

It also sought to raise awareness about the ongoing environmental destruction caused by illegal mining (galamsey) activities.

The march which started at Legon, Okponglo Traffic Light, continued to the Airport Traffic Light, then proceeded to the National Service Secretariat, the Electoral Commission Office, and Parliament, before concluding at Independence Square.
