The Circuit Court in Accra presided over by His Honour Kwabena Obiri Yeboah has directed the Ghana Police Service to ensure that the remanded protesters be fed twice a day.
His pronouncement comes after defence lawyers of the protesters consistently brought up cases of harsh treatment including starvation their clients are subjected to in the custody of the police.
Dr. Justice Srem-Sai, who represents four of the accused persons, made the point that, Oliver Barker-Vormawor collapsed but the police were rather bent on arraigning him in Court instead of ensuring he is taken to hospital to be treated.
