Twenty protestors from the Democracy Hub remain on remand as State Attorneys have opposed their bail application once again, submitting fresh affidavits to contest their release.
During a court session on Tuesday, the State Attorneys argued that they had not been informed in advance about the bail applications. Despite this, they reiterated their strong opposition to granting bail to the twenty protestors involved in the anti-galamsey protests.
In contrast, Ama Governor and eight other protestors were granted bail, set at GHC70,000 each, while twelve additional protestors, including Felicity Nelson, received bail under distinct sureties.
The bail granted on Monday came with varying terms, complicating the ongoing legal battle that carries significant implications for civil rights and environmental activism in Ghana.
In related developments, activist and Democracy Hub convener Oliver Barker-Vormawor was once again denied bail by the Accra High Court following his recent arrest during the protests against illegal mining activities.
