One of the protesters of the #ReOccupyJulorbiHouse and #StopNow protest, Felicity Nelson, has expressed deep dissatisfaction with Ghana's criminal justice system, describing it as a failed institution that treats suspects like slaves.
One might recall the recent protest that occurred from September 21 to 23, 2024, organised by the Democracy Hub in its fight against illegal mining (galamsey) led to several arrests by the police.
In an interview on Accra-based JoyNews on October 12, 2024, a member of the Democracy Hub who suffered an asthmatic attack while in police custody, Felicity Nelson, revealed that her phone was confiscated by the police and was denied access to her family. "I was using my phone when the police took it from me.
I was taken by the police, and they did not inform me that I was under arrest.
