The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has condemned the remand of 28 protesters of the Democracy Hub into police custody and 11 others into prison custody.
This follows a decision by the Accra Circuit Court on Tuesday, September 24.
The demonstrators were charged with conspiracy to commit a crime, namely; unlawful assembly.
In a statement signed by the NDC's National Communications Officer, the NDC said it views this action as a grave abuse of power, accusing the governing Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government of despotic behaviour. "We condemn in no uncertain terms the high-handedness of the Ghana Police Service and their evil collaborators in the despotic Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government.
