The second day of the Galamsey Must Fall protest has officially been suspended. Organisers of the protest, the Generational Rights Protection Society, announced this during a press conference.
The co-convenor of the group, Okatakyie Afrifa Mensah, said the decision was taken following a closed-door meeting with the Accra Police Command. He said the police requested the suspension to allow further engagement and determine a new date
Okatakyie noted that although the anti-galamsey protest was postponed, its objectives had already been achieved. “The Deputy Attorney-General, Dr. Justice Srem-Sai, together with the Accra Police Command, sent a clear message — they pleaded with us for day two to be postponed so they could adequately prepare,” he said.
