Alfred Tuah Yeboah<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Deputy Attorney General Alfred Tuah Yeboah has reaffirmed that justice is being upheld in the aftermath of the Democracy Hub protests, which turned violent between September 21-23.<\/p>\n

The protests resulted in 53 arrests, with nine protesters currently in prison and the rest in police custody.<\/p>\n

In an interview on Channel One TV\u2019s \u201cThe Big Issue,\u201d Mr Tuah Yeboah emphasized that the prosecution is proceeding lawfully, citing the protesters\u2019 court hearing as evidence.<\/p>\n

He stressed the importance of due process, noting that bail considerations and charges are consistent with similar cases.<\/p>\n

Background of the Protests<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Democracy Hub protests began peacefully but escalated into clashes with police, resulting in blocked roads, dismantled barriers, obstructed traffic, and property damage at Accra\u2019s 37 Roundabout.<\/p>\n

Court Proceedings<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the bail hearing, defense lawyers sought release, citing harsh conditions.
However, prosecutors countered that the accused received adequate food and care.<\/p>\n

The judge ultimately denied bail applications, remanding protesters until October 8.<\/p>\n

Prosecution\u2019s Stance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tuah Yeboah denied mistreatment allegations, insisting the accused receive proper care.<\/p>\n

He explained that bail considerations depend on various circumstances, not solely on the severity of the offense.<\/p>\n

Reactions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remanded protesters expressed dissatisfaction by singing patriotic songs after court proceedings.<\/p>\n

This follows Oliver Barker-Vormawor and 12 Democracy Hub members\u2019 two-week remand in police custody, awaiting their October 8 court appearance.<\/p>\n

Previous Controversy<\/strong><\/p>\n

The protests sparked controversy, with concerns raised over police handling and protester treatment.<\/p>\n

The Ghana Police Service accused protesters of violent behavior.<\/p>\n
