Hundreds of protesters gathered in Accra on Thursday, October 3, 2024, to call for the immediate release of 53 Democracy Hub members arrested during an anti-galamsey demonstration last week. The protest, set to continue until October 5, seeks to raise awareness about the environmental devastation caused by illegal mining, known locally as galamsey.
The demonstration began at Legon Okponglo, following a police-approved route that will pass through key landmarks, including the Legon Stadium, Okponglo Traffic Light, Shiashie, Shangri-La, and the Airport Traffic Light, before reaching the National Service Secretariat, the Electoral Commission Office, Parliament, and Independence Square.
A strong police presence has been deployed to maintain peace throughout the protest.
