Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa
The Honorable Member of Parliament (MP) for North Tongu, Samuel Omudzeto Ablakwa has condemned the step (brutality and arrest) taken by the Ghana Police toward the peaceful demonstrators of #OccupyJulorBiHouse.
Condemning the acts of the police, Hon. Okudzeto laid it clear that “Whichever way you look at it — police brutalities, excessive brute force against unarmed civilians and gestapo tactics have no place in a constitutional democracy.”
“Violating the rights of citizens is not policing.
“I strongly condemn today’s high handedness against protesters and journalists by security operatives, particularly, on a day we commemorate the birthday of Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah — our nation’s founder who dedicated his entire life towards the elimination of all forms of injustice and subjugation.
“All those brutalized and arrested should be immediately freed and granted medical care which must be borne by the state,” Hon. Okudzeto calls for the immediate discharge of the arrested people.
