Eleven Democracy Hub protestors who appeared in court on Wednesday have been remanded into police custody and are set to return for another court hearing on Thursday, September 26, 2024.
Each of the individuals pleaded not guilty to the charge of conspiracy to commit a crime.
With this latest development, the total number of demonstrators currently remanded by the Accra Circuit Court has risen to 50.
Notably, Lead Convenor of Democracy Hub, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, and Funny Otoo were absent from yesterday’s proceedings due to reported illnesses requiring medical attention, as stated by the police.
The eleven individuals face charges similar to those brought against the 39 protestors remanded earlier, including conspiracy to commit a crime, unlawful assembly, causing unlawful damage, offensive conduct conducive to the breach of peace, assault on a public officer, along with an additional charge.
