The Free Tsatsu campaign movement will hold a forum today at the W.E.B. Du Bois Centre to welcome Mr Tsatsu Tsikata back from almost seven months of ‘unjust’ imprisonment.
The forum which is organized under the theme: “Justice for one: Justice for all" is aimed at providing Mr Tsikata the opportunity to express his appreciation to the public for this support in the quest for justice.
It will be chaired by Prof. Akilakpa Sawyer, former Vice Chancellor of the University of Ghana, Legon, and the immediate mediate past Secretary-General of All Africa Universities and Mr Kwesi Pratt. Jnr., a member of the campaign.
It would be recall that Mr. Tsikata was handed a five-year jail term on June 18, 2008 by a Fast Track High Court in Accra after it found him guilty of three counts of causing financial loss of GH¢230,000 to the state and misapplying GH¢2,OOO in public property.
Former President J.A. Kufuor on his last day in office, granted Tsikata a free, absolute and unconditional pardon, but Tsikata has rejected the pardon and insisted that he would continue to pursue the matter in the court of law to overturn his conviction.
However, exactly a week after he was granted a presidential pardon by former President Kufuor, Mr Tsikata was granted a GH¢ I million self-recognisance bail by an Accra Fast Track High Court chaired by Mr Justice Edward Amoako Asante.
