The Ghana Police Service has reassured the public of its commitment to maintaining law and order during the upcoming demonstration organized by the Democracy Hub Group, set to take place from September 21 to 23, 2024.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Police Service confirmed that comprehensive security arrangements have been made to ensure the safety of participants and the general public during the protest. The statement emphasized that the Police are prepared to safeguard public peace and prevent any disruption.
This assurance follows recent legal developments in which a court injunction was sought to halt the demonstration. The injunction is part of ongoing legal disputes concerning the legality of the protest and its potential impact on public order.
Despite these legal challenges, the Police Service has sought to address public concerns and affirm that measures are in place to maintain peace throughout the demonstration period.
“The Police have put in place adequate security measures to ensure the safety of participants and the public,” the statement noted.
The Police further stated that details of the specific security arrangements will be provided in an update scheduled for Thursday, September 19, 2024, to inform the public and participants of the security protocols in place.
The planned demonstration by the Democracy Hub Group has attracted significant public attention, and the proactive steps taken by the Police reflect their efforts to balance the constitutional right to peaceful assembly with the need to maintain public order.
As the date for the protest approaches, the Ghana Police Service remains committed to ensuring a secure environment for all involved, with further updates expected to keep the public informed about the preparations.
