IGP , Attorney General sued over bloody LMVC demo

The Let My Vote Count Alliance LMVC has sued the  Inspector General of Police  John Kudalor  and the Attorney General and Minister for Justice Marietta Brew Appiah Oppong over the police brutality against LMVC protesters last year.

The LMVC joined by other Ghanaians embarked on a protest in September last year to put pressure on the Electoral Commission to prepare a new register.

" the breach  of fundamental human right when  Ghanaians were demonstrating and police attacked us unprovoked. Let the court of the land speak and let justice be delivered  to Ghanaians who suffered the brutality," Said the convener of the group David Asante.

The Demonstration turned violent when police fired tear gas, and hot water and in some cases whipped  the protested who they accused of going off the approved routes.

Some the protesters got injured and one person lost an eye as a result of the police civilian clash which gained international recognition.

Asante says the suit at the Human Rights court is to prevent the police from taking the fundamental rights of Ghanaians for granted.
