The vice presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Prof.
has expressed deep concern about the high-handed treatment meted out to peaceful protesters of the recent three-day demonstration in Accra by the Democracy Hub.
The reports of manhandling, arrests, starvation, denial of access to family and legal counsel by the police as well as the subsequent remand of the protesters, including a pregnant lady, by an Accra Circuit Court are alarming.
According to her, the response of the authorities is brutal and high-handed raising questions about the government's commitment to its so-called fight against illegal mining and the destruction of Ghana's waterbodies, forests, and farmlands.
