Nii Ayi Mensah, a man who suffered an eye injury during the “Krom Ay3 Hye” demonstration on the 28th June 2022 organised by Arise Ghana group, says he can’t see with his right eye.
Addressing a press conference on Tuesday, leader of the group, Bernard Mornarh revealed that, based on a doctor’s report the victim, Nii Ayi-Mensah will no longer be able to see in his right eye.
“What is most painful is the case of Comrade Nii Ayi-Mensah. One of the victims of the reckless Police brutalities of the 28th June 2022, who was hit by a rubber bullet in his right eye. And has been declared blind in that eye by doctors at the Eye Center at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital” Bernard Mornarh stated.
He added that, “as a result of the unprofessional and lawless conduct of the Dampare-led Police, many innocent Ghanaians were injured. From information so far, 93 peaceful protestors sustained varying forms of injury ranging from fractures to rubber bullet wounds among others.”
The leadership of Arise Ghana has since visited some of the victims and has borne the cost of their treatment.
