On Tuesday, September 24, 2024, the Convener of #FixTheCountry Movement, Ralph Williams, lawyer and Youtuber, Ama Governor and media personality, Felicity Neilson arrived at the premises of the Accra circuit court.

The three were heard singing a patriotic song, "Arise, Ghana Youth for Your Country" as they were escorted by the police for their court hearing.

GH One TV shared this information on their official X page on Tuesday, September 24, 2024, stating, "Convener of #FixTheCountry movement, Ralph Williams, Felicity Nelson and others march into courtroom singing "Arise, Ghana Youth for Your Country."

The court appearance followed the arrest of several protestors on Saturday, September 22, 2024, who were part of a protest by Democracy Hub

The protestors were detained for engaging in unlawful activities, including blocking roads, toppling police barriers, and obstructing traffic at the 37 Roundabout in Accra.

Tensions between the police and Democracy Hub, organisers of the protest escalated on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, when the police secured an injunction from the Accra High Court to prevent the group from holding their 3-day protest at Revolution Square, located in front of the Jubilee House.

The group, however, defied the police and embarked on the protest to demand a stop to illegal mining activities in the country popularly referred to as galamsey.
