The Public Affairs Unit of the Ghana Police Service, advises the public to disregard any call to demonstrate by the conveners of the “fix-the-country” after the supreme court ruling on Tuesday, 8 June 2021.
In the release, the Police indicate, “The Supreme Court quashed Order granted ex parte by the High court on May 6, 2021, restraining the conveners of the “fix-the-country” protest from embarking on a public demonstration. The decision of the Supreme Court was based on the indefinite terms in which the ex parte order was made”
“However, the Supreme Court refused to restrain the Ghana Police Service or their agents, assigns, workmen or workwomen from unlawfully interfering with the constitutional right of the conveners of the “fix-the-country” protest from embarking on a public demonstration” it added.
It further added, “the substantive case between the Police and the conveners on their right to demonstrate is still at the High Court (Criminal Division 1) Accra, and slated for hearing on Monday, 14 June 2021.”
