Video: Democracy Hub demo turns chaotic as police clash with protestors

A video circulating on social media shows protesters clashing with police as they attempt to cross a barricade during a demonstration advocating for an end to illegal mining, commonly referred to as “galamsey.”

The protesters, holding placards with the message “Stop Galamsey Now,” were met with a strong police presence, which prohibited their movement.

Despite the police’s efforts, the protesters remained determined and continued their chants in unison.

However, they were eventually confronted by police who began to apply force to halt their advance.

The incident has sparked mixed reactions online, with many expressing disapproval with police’s actions.

Earlier, the Ghana Police addressed the actions of the Democracy Hub protesters, who had burned banners of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The police condemned this behaviour as uncivil and un-Ghanaian, stating that they would not be lenient in future demonstrations.
