-

Hundreds turn up for the protest on Thursday, October 3, in Accra to demand the immediate release of 53 Democracy Hub protesters who were arrested during an anti-galamsey demonstration last week.

The three-day demonstration, which will run until October 5, aims to highlight the ongoing environmental destruction caused by illegal mining, locally known as galamsey.

The protest march will start from Legon Okponglo and proceed to the Black Star Square, with participants following a route approved by the police.

The designated path includes key locations such as the Legon Stadium, Okponglo Traffic Light, Shiashie, Shangri-La, and Airport Traffic Light, before heading to the National Service Secretariat, Electoral Commission Office, Parliament, and ending at Independence Square.

There is heavy Police presence in the area to ensure a peaceful demonstration.
