Rachel Appoh
Former Minister for Gender, Children, and Social Protection, Rachel Appoh, has condemned the police for denying medication to a suspect arrested during the recent Democracy Hub anti-galamsey protest in Accra.
She described this action as a violation of human rights, particularly as the suspect suffers from asthma and only received medication after an attack.
