The soldiers apprehended them while they were actively engaged in mining and imposed disciplinary actions as punishment for their involvement in illegal mining activities.
The footage also shows the soldiers subjecting a group of these miners to multiple rounds of caning on their backs as part of their punishment.
Operation Halt is a Ghanaian military task force established to combat illegal small-scale mining, known locally as galamsey.
The group comprises personnel from the Ghana Armed Forces, Ghana Police Service, and other security agencies, all working together to enforce a government crackdown on illegal mining, which has had severe environmental impacts, particularly on water bodies and farmlands.
