Information reaching the desk of Awakenewsroom has it that the police have allegedly arrested several people as they gathered at the Revolutionary Square in Accra to commemorate the June 4th revolution.
According to the organizers, the civil exercise was organized to draw the attention of the Akufo-Addo-led government to the conditions that birthed the June 4th 1979 revolution.
They added that they duly informed the Police of their intention to protest and that they had not been served any court order instructing them to call off the protest.
“A number of Young Ghanaians have been arrested at the Revolutionary Square where they were holding a protest, to remind Ghanaians about the conditions that led to the June 4th revolution.
“They duly notified the Police of the protest. There is no court order preventing the protest from going forth,” part of a post made by the #FixTheCountry pressure group on X (formerly Twitter), reads.
The group added that the “continuing opposition under this Government to the democratic right of protest, makes mockery of what we are without irony calling democracy. Every day we expose our empty claims that life in Ghana today is any different from the military era,” the statement concluded.
