The Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) has issued a red alert, calling on the Ghana Police Service to act decisively to bring justice to a journalist who a senior police officer assaulted during the Ablekuma North parliamentary election re-run.
According to the association, it will no longer accept symbolic condemnations without action, a development that has characterised recent activities involving assaults on journalists by police officers.
The President of the association, Albert Dwumfour, stated this during a press conference held on Thursday, July 31, 2025, to address the association's concerns over the rising incidents of assaults on journalists in recent times.
He mentioned, "We will no longer allow the work of journalists to be criminalised under the pretext of national security or public order.
