Child Rights International (CRI), a Non-Governmental Organisation, has strongly condemned the recent evacuation operation by the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS), describing it as a gross violation of child protection standards and a national emergency requiring urgent redress.
The operation, which occurred on May 16, 2025, saw the arrest of over 2,000 street beggars from key urban hotspots including Kaneshie, Abossey Okai, and Kwame Nkrumah Circle in the Greater Accra Region.
