The Ghana Police Service (GPS) has acknowledged detaining two protesters from the recent three-day #ReoccupyJulorbiHouse and #StopGalamseyNow demonstrations, organised by Democracy Hub, for more than 48 hours.
There had been previous claims from protesters and other individuals that some demonstrators were detained beyond the permitted 48 hours before they were put before the court.
In a statement issued on Thursday, September 26, the police described the situation as unfortunate and said that they had directed the Police Professional Standards Bureau (PPSB) to investigate the matter.
