Ghanaian Protesters Persist, Defying Police for Second Consecutive Day

Protesters in Ghana defied police and took to the streets for a second consecutive day to highlight issues of bad governance, corruption, insecurity, and economic mismanagement. The protests, organized under the hashtag #OccupyJulorbiHouse, aim to put pressure on the government to address these concerns. On Thursday, armed police arrested at least fifty protesters, including journalists, and subjected them to brutality. The police claim the protesters were engaged in unlawful gathering and defying police orders, but the democracy hub members argue that the police acted in bad faith by filing an injunction application at the last minute. Despite the arrests, the protesters vow to continue their demonstrations.
