Independent presidential candidate and leader of the Movement for Change, John Alan Kyerematen, has condemned the arrest and remand of 42 protesters, calling for their immediate release.
Kyerematen described the actions of law enforcement agencies as unlawful and accused the government of using intimidation tactics to suppress the voice of the youth.
In a strongly worded statement, Kyerematen emphasized that the protesters were exercising their democratic right to express grievances, and he urged the authorities to respect their constitutional freedoms.
The Movement for Change leader criticized the police for what he termed as unjustifiable arrests, arguing that the demonstration was peaceful and conducted in the right direction.
