An Accra High Court has struck out a motion filed by the Ghana Police Service that sought to prohibit a planned protest against illegal mining in Ghana.
The court's decision follows a prayer by Assistant State Attorney David Bachem, acting on the orders of the Attorney General, for the motion to be withdrawn.
This latest decision by the court paves the way for the anti-galamsey protest which is expected to come off on April 28 this year.
One of the conveners of the group, a known media personality, Okatakyie Afrifa, said the initial motion to prohibit the protest was a move borne out of bad faith.
