Hundred of protesters yesterday started a three-day demonstration in Accra to demand an end to illegal mining ( galamsey) and the release of 53 Democracy Hub members, arrested during a similar protest about two weeks ago.
Led by the National Coalition against Galamsey, they walked from the Okponglo bus stop, near the University of Ghana Sports Stadium through Shiashie, the Airport Junction, Kawukudi Junction, Kanda, Ministries and ended at the frontage of the Accra Sports Stadium.
At the Ministries, the protestors who started the eight-hour demonstration at that covered about 15kilometres, made a stopover at the office of the Attorney-General and Ministry of Justice to present a petition.
One of the protest conveners, Brownson Adatsi, who co-signed the petition signed with other conveners including Camry Tagoe and Effah Ampem presented the document.
