About #OccupyJulorbiHouse protests
On Day 1, September 21, 2023, of the #OccupyJulorbiHouse protest by the Democracy Hub, the police illegally arrested 49 protesters who were marching to demand action on the prevailing economic crisis and corruption.
Some journalists and protesters who massed up, especially at the Accra Regional Command encountered some amount of police violence including shoving, forced detention, seizure of phones and in the case of others, physical assaults.
The illegal arrests and how protesters were treated by the police raised eyebrows by many.
The police sent the detainees to the regional headquarters before splitting them up to about eight police stations across the capital.
Speaking on the issue, the police said the illegal arrests were justified because protesters were defying a court injunction served on them.
