The Accra High Court has scheduled December 4, 2023, as the date for delivering its verdict in the case involving En Huang, also known as Aisha Huang, who stands accused of illegal mining activities.
During the court session, both the defense counsel and the prosecution informed the court that they had submitted their written arguments for consideration.
Aisha Huang is facing charges related to conducting unauthorized mining operations, facilitating the involvement of individuals in illegal mining, and re-entering Ghana after deportation.
She has consistently denied these charges and is currently in custody. The prosecution has identified the complainants as security and intelligence officers.
According to the prosecution, Aisha had gained a reputation for engaging in various small-scale mining activities, commonly known as ‘galamsey,’ throughout the country.
In 2017, Aisha was arrested for a similar offense, but she reportedly managed to leave the country, thus avoiding prosecution. Following her return, she allegedly resumed small-scale mining activities without the required license.
