Democracy Hub demo: Mahama slams ‘high-handed’ remand decisions

John Dramani Mahama, the NDC flagbearer, has criticized the remand of over 39 protesters arrested during a recent Democracy Hub demonstration against illegal mining.

The protest turned violent as demonstrators clashed with police, leading to accusations of road blockages.

Mahama condemned the remand as “high-handed” and an infringement on rights, urging authorities to balance law enforcement with citizens’ freedoms.

He called for the immediate release of the protesters, emphasizing the youth's right to peaceful expression on critical issues like environmental protection.
