A viral video online captures Cina Soul as the only celebrity who has extended support to the #OccupyJulorBi protestors who have been arrested while staging a demonstration around the Jubilee House on Thursday, September 21, 2023.

In the said video, the Ghanaian singer was seen interacting with some family and friends of the detained protestors at the Accra Regional police headquarters.

This development comes after the group of protestors, (Democracy Hub), led by Oliver Barker-Vormawor caused an alarm of their arrest on social media while highlighting that the police have suppressed their constitutional rights.

He stated that the country had weaponized the police to suppress demonstrators adding that it is a breach of democracy.

“We don’t know where they are taking us. They have no right to arrest demonstrators in the country. This is not the democracy we signed up for. This is not a democracy.”

Background

The protestors had earlier notified the Ghana Police Service of a planned demonstration on Nkrumah Memorial Day to call on “the President and members of the Economic Management Team to #FixTheCountry in light of the level of economic mismanagement and theft that has engulfed our government from the highest levels.”

But in a counter move, the police filed an application for an injunction against the protest on the eve of the event.
