Legal practitioner and law lecturer Justice Abdulai has urged the government to establish dedicated media courts in every region.
This call comes in response to a disturbing rise in assaults and violations against media personnel, which threaten the fundamental principles of press freedom and democratic accountability.
Justice Abdulai's remarks gained urgency following the recent incident on July 30, 2025, when military forces assaulted JoyNews journalist Carlos Calony and his cameraman, as well as an eyewitness, during the demolition of a McDan warehouse at Spintex in Accra.
The incident triggered widespread outrage across the nation, raising concerns about the safety of journalists and the broader implications for free speech in Ghana.
