Pressure group Democracy Hub has disputed claims by the Ghana Police Service that they have been served with court documents, stating that they are unaware of the content of the police application.

The Ghana Police Service had previously alleged that they had filed an application in court and successfully served Democracy Hub in connection with the group's planned demonstration at the Jubilee House from Thursday, 21st to Saturday, 23rd September 2023.

Democracy Hub had earlier informed the Ghana Police Service of their intention to hold a demonstration on Nkrumah Memorial Day, with the aim of urging the President and the Economic Management Team to address economic mismanagement and government corruption issues. 

The group also expressed their opposition to the proposed military intervention in Niger and other government policies.

Democracy Hub emphasised the significance of Nkrumah Memorial Day, commemorating the spirit of resistance against oppression and dispossession.

In a recurring pattern, the Police Service sought an injunction against the protest on the eve of the event.

In response to the police statement, Democracy Hub accused the police of maintaining a facade throughout their engagement, suggesting they would abide by the law and fulfill their obligations under the Public Order Act.

The group expressed dismay at what they viewed as the police's desperate and potentially partisan attempts to disrupt their peaceful and democratic mobilisation.

“We are appalled by the desperate and likely partisan attempts by the Police to disrupt peaceful and democratic mobilisation for our upcoming Occupy Julorbi House picket,” it stated.

Democracy Hub called on the public to disregard the police statement, which they claimed was filled with misinformation, and reaffirmed that the protest would proceed as scheduled. 

They invited the general public to assemble at the 37 Trotro Station at 6:30 am on the following day for the march to the Jubilee House.

Regarding their decision to disregard the alleged court application, Democracy Hub argued that it aligns with the legal positions taken by the Government and the Electoral Commission, asserting that the mere filing of an application should not impede the exercise of constitutional rights.
