The ECOWAS Court has ruled in favour of Shalimar Abbiusi, spokesperson for the New Force, against the Republic of Ghana for violating her fundamental rights.
The court, according to a statement by the New Force, found that Ghana wrongfully arrested, rearrested, and illegally deported Abbiusi in December 2023, causing significant damage to her personal and professional reputation.
The court stated that the actions of the Ghana Immigration Service contravened Article 6 of the Liberty of People, despite all charges against Abbiusi being dropped by the State Prosecutor.
As a result, the court mandated compensation from the Ghanaian government, marking a significant victory for justice and accountability.
