Ace investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, has spoken out against the arrest of Democracy Hub demonstrators, particularly the continued detention of Oliver Vormawor.
On social media platform X, Anas emphasized that such actions undermine democratic principles.
“The continued detention of Oliver Vormawor is an affront to everything we’ve fought for in our democracy”, the post stated.
Anas Aremeyaw reminded leaders that power is temporary, while the people’s will endures, advocating for justice and freedom for Vormawor.
“Leaders must remember: power is finite, but the will of the people endures”.
About 53 members of the
Democracy Hub were apprehended by the police for allegedly participating in various unlawful activities at the 37 inter section in Accra.
According to police reports, the demonstrators had unlawfully gathered at the 37 inter section, where they were reportedly assaulting police officers who were executing their official duties and obstructing traffic.
Additionally, they caused property damage by dismantling police barriers, disturbing public order, unlawfully entering police vehicles to remove ignition keys, and discarding them.
Apart from a leading member of Democracy Hub, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, who has been denied bail in the #ReOccupyJulorbiHouse protest, 52 out of the 53 have been granted bail, including the 11 persons who were on remand at the Nsawam Prison.
