A group of 54 individuals who were arrested during a protest against illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey, have now regained their freedom after being denied bail initially and held in custody for 14 days. However, one of the key figures in the protest, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, remains in detention.
This Sunday's edition of JoyNews' The Law will delve into the demonstrators' journey—from their arrest during the anti-galamsey protest to the challenges they faced in detention and the experiences following their release—raises significant questions about their treatment and the legal process they endured.
Their stories are essential to understanding the realities of activism in Ghana, the conditions they faced in custody, and their perspectives moving forward after securing their liberty.
