Greater Accra Regional Police Command has stated in a letter that it cannot provide security protection for the planned ‘March for Justice’ demonstration by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The NDC through its’ youth wing had notified the police that it will hold a street protest dubbed ‘A March for Justice’ on Tuesday, July 6, 2021, to demand justice for all persons killed or brutalized by the various security agencies in the country especially in the Ejura incident.
In a letter written to the Inspector General of Police, the NDC youth wing said it was writing to notify police in accordance with the Public Order Act (491).
But the Regional Police Command’s explanation in rejecting the group’s request referred to Section 4 of the Public Order Act 1994 (ACT 491) particularly concerning public health.
The party’s planned demonstration is on the back of the killing of two residents of Ejura in the Ashanti Region, killed by some military personnel deployed to disperse a crowd protesting the killing of a social activist in the area.
