32 Democracy Hub protesters sue IGP, AG over human rights violations

Thirty-two protesters from the Democracy Hub have sued the Inspector General of Police (IGP) and the Attorney General, citing human rights violations during their arrest.

Represented by Madina MP Francis-Xavier Sosu, they seek a High Court order to enforce their rights, including freedom of movement, the right to protest, and protection against arbitrary arrest and detention.

Nine remain in prison, while others are in police custody.

A bail request was denied, and the protesters are remanded until October 8.
