The Youth Wing of the opposition National Democratic Congress, NDC, has notified the police that it will organise a street protest dubbed \u2018A March for Justice\u2019 on Tuesday, July 6, 2021, to demand justice for all persons killed or brutalised by the various security agencies in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The demonstration will begin from 8:00 am to mid-day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a letter written to the Inspector General of Police, the NDC youth wing said it was writing to the police in accordance with the Public Order Act (491).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe protest is to demand justice for all persons killed and brutalised by state-sponsored thuggery and or adventurism by police and military forces\u201d, the youth wing noted in the statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The party\u2019s youth wing said the protest is also to demand social justice for the unemployed in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One chapter of the protest will begin from Madina, while three other chapters will start from the Central Business of Accra, Osu and Lapaz through the principal streets of Accra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All four groups will converge on the Jubilee House to present a petition to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A similar petition will be presented to the IGP at the Police Headquarters and the Speaker of Parliament at the Parliament House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are willing to meet with the police for further discussions on the subject,\u201d the NDC youth wing added in the statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The NDC has over the years condemned what it calls state-sponsored brutality against Ghanaians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The party\u2019s planned demonstration is on the back of the killing of two residents of Ejura in the Ashanti Region, killed by some military personnel deployed to disperse a crowd protesting the killing of a social activist in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
