Democracy Hub protesters free as A-G drop charges

The Attorney-General (AG) and Minister of Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has filed a nolle prosequi to discontinue the case against individuals associated with the Democracy Hub protests.
In the notice of abandonment, Dr. Ayine stated that the state no longer intends to pursue the case against the accused individuals.
The individuals affected include social activists Oliver Barker-Vormawor, Felicity Nelson, and social media influencer Elorm Ama Governor-Ababio, also known as Ama Governor.
Others named in the withdrawal include Michael Amofa, Nii Ayi, Frederick Boateng, deportee Iddrisu Yusif, Wendell Isaac Yeboah, Fanny Otoo, and Samuel Samakor.
A total of 53 protesters were arrested during the three-day demonstration, which took place from September 21 to September 23.
The protesters had demanded greater government action against illegal mining (galamsey) and were arrested and charged with unlawful assembly after blocking roads, dismantling police barriers, obstructing traffic, and setting fire to properties at Accra’s 37 Roundabout.
The charges against the group sparked widespread public debate, with many Ghanaians and civil society organizations calling for their release
