The Ghana Police Service on Sunday released a statement on Arise Ghana’s intended demonstration.
According to the Service, it has filed a case at the court seeking a determination into the time frame for the Arise Ghana demonstration .
The Police said, the Group notified them of their ”intention to hold a demonstration in Accra for two continuous days and for its members to also picket in front of the Jubilee House during the night”.
In response the Service said the demonstration can only happen if the time can be reconsidered. “In the interest of public order and safety, we entreated the organizers to reconsider their time frame and start the demonstration early in the day and end before night falls,” the statement said.
However, “on June 22, 2022, the Police received a verbal response from the organizers to the effect that they are unable to change the time of the demonstration.
Hearing is scheduled for tomorrow, Monday, 27 June 2022.
This was duly communicated to Arise Ghana in a letter on June 22, 2022”.
