No amount of intimidation will stop us from protesting – Democracy Hub to govt

One of Democracy Hub’s leaders, Nana Yaw Yeboah, has stated unequivocally that intimidation and threats will not stop them from planning a three-day protest.

He clarified that Revolutionary Square will host the scheduled demonstration, which is not to be classified as a security zone.

Democracy Hub has declared that it will stage a three-day protest at Revolutionary Square, which is located across Liberation Road and in front of the Jubilee House, on September 21–24.

According to the group, it has officially notified the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, in compliance with the Public Order Act.

The group has scheduled a protest that will start at six in the morning.

He assured that they will not be discouraged by intimidation from the police, courts, or other state institutions.

“We have informed the police that we want to demonstrate. All we have to do now is wait for the date to arrive so we can demonstrate. The last time we informed them of our intention to demonstrate, we were hauled to court, and the case was adjourned to January although the demonstration was scheduled for December.

“We can no longer tolerate such injustice. So, this time, whether it’s the Supreme Court or the Inspector General of Police, we’ll be out there to demonstrate.

“We don’t care if they shoot us. We don’t care if they arrest all of us. We are coming out to demonstrate in September. We will not listen to anything the court says. We mean it.

“We are not going to listen to any court, we are not going to listen to any police, and we are not going to listen to any security minister. We are going out on September 21 to demonstrate. They can do whatever they want to us, and we are ready to face it.”
