The High Court in Accra has refused bail to a Leader of Democracy Hub Oliver Barker-Vormawor.
Mr Barker-Vormawor was arrested with several other protestors and remanded into custody by an Accra Circuit Court. His Lawyer, Dr Justice Srem Sai’s attempt at securing his bail has been denied.
The High Court took into consideration his pending trial at the High Court for treason charges.
The Judge however ordered the Circuit Court to immediately start his trial or would be inclined to admit Mr Barker-Vormawor to bail after 72 hours.
Mr Barker-Vormawor faces eight charges of conspiracy, unlawful assembly, causing unlawful damage.
The rest are offensive conduct conducive to the breach of peace, assault on public officers, defacement of public notice, stealing and offensive conduct.
Some other protestors including Felicity Nelson have each been granted bail in the sum of 20,000 cedis with two sureties.
The Court ordered the prosecution to verify their digital addresses.
