The Attorney-General has discontinued the case against the convener of the Democracy Hub protesters, who were arrested for demonstrating against illegal mining (galamsey).
The protesters, who took to the streets to demand greater government action against environmental degradation, were detained and charged after their demonstration.
However, the Attorney-General’s office has dropped all charges, effectively ending the case.
About 53 persons were arrested during the protest including convenor Oliver Barker-Vormawor, and Ama Governor among others.
The individuals were arrested during demonstrations intended to raise awareness about the harmful effects of illegal mining, commonly referred to as galamsey on the environment.
Activists have increasingly voiced their concerns regarding the destruction of farmlands, water bodies, and forests due to unregulated mining practices.
