Conveners of #MarchWithCaleb, WeTaya, say they will still go ahead with their planned protest tomorrow despite disapproval by the Ghana Police Service.

They insist the Police Service is using strategies to prevent them from protesting and that the Service does not have the powers under the Constitution to deny them their right to protest.

Speaking at a press conference in Accra, the Conveners called on Ghanaians to join the action, adding that the routes for the protest would be communicated later. The Conveners have therefore urged their lawyers to respond to the Police that their planned protest will come off as scheduled.

They said their intention is to protest against the detention and assault on Caleb Kudah and the invasion of Citi FM by National Security operatives.

The assault on Caleb Kudah on Tuesday, May 11, has dominated discussions in Ghana and raised several concerns about how the National Security outfit generally operates in ways that trample on the rights of citizens.

Mr. Kudah was detained and assaulted by National Security operatives for filming abandoned MASLOC vehicles parked at the premises of the security agency.

Some heavily-armed National Security operatives subsequently stormed the premises of Citi FM and Citi TV to pick up another Broadcast Journalist, Zoe Abu-Baidoo Addo for receiving the files captured by Mr. Kudah.

Meanwhile, the National Media Commission has begun investigations into the matter. This comes after the Commission received a petition from the Accra-based radio and TV station.
