The Attorney-General has withdrawn the case against the convener of the Democracy Hub protesters, who were apprehended for rallying against illegal mining (galamsey).

The demonstrators, who took to the streets to push for stronger government action against environmental destruction, were arrested and charged following their protest.

However, the Attorney-General’s office has officially dropped all charges, bringing the case to an end.

Approximately 53 individuals, including convenor Oliver Barker-Vormawor and Ama Governor, were among those detained during the protest.

The demonstration aimed to highlight the adverse effects of illegal mining on the environment, particularly its impact on farmland, rivers, and forests.

Environmental activists have persistently called attention to the widespread damage caused by unchecked mining activities.
