#FreeTheCitzens#StopGalamoseyNow . “Chinese wallpaper” 2021 by Jeffrey otoo . This work delves into the negative impact of galamsey on our lands and water bodies.
I’ll be watching Ghana’s president speak in New York this morning as police in Accra continue to detain peaceful protestors against illegal mining.
People are rallying under #FreeTheCitizens after Ghanaian police violently broke up 3 days of #StopGalamseyNow protests
There is no legal justification howsoever described for protestors to be refused bail and remanded for 2 weeks in a democratic country because they protested against government’s involvement in the galamsey menace.
What is happening to Ghana, how did we descend so low into the abyss.
Precedent duly noted‼️
My heart is so heavy. We are being treated like we do not have a right to ask for the barest minimum. The people who are suffering with us are being weaponized to invoke fear in us. The people who should speak up for us are justifying this. 💔
‘Freedom and justice’ indeed!

Future generations will look back on our time and see that we spoke out against the injustices in our country, including the devastating effects of Galamsey.
Social media has recorded our voices and actions and will also reveal that we had leaders who turned a deaf ear to our cries. History will judge us all - let's make sure our voices are loud and clear in demanding change.
