Alan Kyerematen, leader of the Movement for Change, has added his voice to the ongoing "Free The Citizens" campaign following the arrest of protesters demonstrating against illegal mining (galamsey).
In a tweet, Mr Kyerematen condemned the denial of basic rights to those detained, emphasizing that such actions cannot be tolerated in any democratic society, particularly in Ghana.
He urged the Ghana Police and relevant authorities to ensure that all those who were arrested during the protests receive humane treatment.
This includes being granted access to legal representation, the opportunity to communicate with loved ones, and access to essential necessities. "I entreat the Ghana Police and other relevant authorities to ensure that all those detained are treated with dignity," Kyerematen stated.
