Even when you cough, they come after you — Abanga accuses Mahama govt of criminalising free speech

Mr Abanga urged the government to reconsider its approach to criticism and allow citizens to express their views without fear of intimidation or arrest.

Speaking on JoyNews’ PM Express programme on Tuesday, October 6, Mr Abanga said the situation had reached a point where people could no longer freely express their views about government without fear of repercussions.

He cited the arrest of a woman allegedly linked to a social media account as an example of what he described as the government’s intolerance of criticism.
