Stop Mahama's neofascism - Free Fadi Dabbousi now!

Fadi Dabboussi Fadi Dabboussi

Ghanaian author and journalist, Fadi Debbousi remains in arbitrary detention incommunicado. His attorney was not allowed to see him.

Human rights violations are rife under Mahama's neofascist reign; opposition activists protesting the current economic hardships and injustices in the country are senselessly brutalized by the police; Hon. J B Danquah, then MP for Abuakwa North constituency was attacked and butchered to death in his secured house, and the perpetrators are yet to be sentenced;and recently the Chief Justice and some senior members of the Supreme Court received death threats from agents of the president and when they were tried and sentenced for contempt, the president insulted the judiciary by pardoning the culprits.

We deplore the recent wave of arrests and the use of brute force to disperse peaceful protests.

We demand the immediate unconditional release of Fadi Dabbousi and an end to all forms of political prosecutions, and the respect of rule of law, and respect for human rights.

pect our constitution. The good people of Ghana suffered too much under the (p)NDC military dictatorship to allow a handful of power drunks to return our country to autocracy.

We support the rights of civil society and opposition groups to protest and assemble. and support the strikes of the various labor unions. We condemn the maltreatment of journalists by agents of president Mahama. We condemn the December 11, 2012 raid on an NPP research office by heavily armed police and military personnel.

We condemn the May 2014 brutal assault on defenseless students of the Mampong Midwifery and Health Assistants Training School by agents of president Mahama just for asking for the reinstatement of their allowances.

We condemn the September 16, 2015 savage and naked violence visited on citizens who participated in the Let My Vote Count Alliance peaceful protest demanding new voters register which left many with various degrees of injury. And the list continues ad infinitum.

President Mahama, rest assured that the people of the world stand by the silent majority in Ghana in their demand for absolute democracy, meaningful rule of law, judicial independence, and economic transparency. President Mahama we hope you are prepared for what you have been romantically courting for some time now - THE WRATH OF THE SUFFERING MASSES!

In due time the truth will surface, and the good people of Ghana will not only judge the behavior of their government, but those who failed to stand in defense of law.

The cause endures!!!
