From her prison cell, activist and lawyer Elorm Ama Ababio, widely known as Ama Governor, has voiced her support for the #FreeTheCitizens protest in a heartfelt letter.
The protest, which began on October 3, 2024, was sparked by a social media movement demanding the release of Ama and nearly 50 others arrested during an earlier demonstration led by the Democracy Hub against illegal mining, commonly referred to as galamsey.
In her powerful letter to the protesters, Ama Governor began with the rallying cry, "Dear Comrades, when I say 'Aluta!' you respond 'Continua!'" Her words were filled with hope and determination, strengthening the resolve of those marching.
She reflected on the significance of the moment, stating, "Ghana has never witnessed a day as important as this, October 3, 2024, when the youth, despite attempts to divide us, have chosen unity.
