Pressure group OccupyGhana have condemned the barbaric attack on a lady suspected of stealing in Kumasi, calling for the authorities to do their best to apprehend the culprits.
The video of the mob attack on the woman, which included many men s*xually assaulting her after they stripped her, has sparked a public outcry as the conversation over mob justice rears its ugly head once again.
Gender Minister Otiko Djaba has spoken out on the disturbing video of a woman who was stripped, beaten and s*xually assaulted by a mob for allegedly stealing Ghc 1,100.
Speaking to 3Fm, the newly appointed Minister described the actions as ‘cruel and barbaric’ and said those actions do not represent Ghanaian culture in anyway.
The Speaker of Parliament, Professor Mike Ocquaye, has called for the laws of Ghana to be made much clearer in regards to homos*xuality, and for the practice to be criminalised entirely.
Prof Ocquaye was speaking during a meeting with the head of Royal House Chapel, Rev Sam Korankye, who led a delegation from the church to pay a courtesy call on him.
Yesterday, we published an article on the inhumane and degrading treatment a woman received in Ghana when she was alleged to have stolen 1100 GHS (about 200 pounds).
The woman was stripped naked, spanked, beaten and even one of the men torturing this woman inserted his toe into her vagina–all in public.
That’s what some group of Ghanaians, being watched by others in a broad day light subject another of our kind to–all in the name of the increasing diabolical trend of mob justice in Ghana.
Ghana is a democracy: we have a robust judicial system and yet others, and a huge number of the population continue to “lynch” others for allegedly having committed offences without giving such persons a fair trial.
The widespread human rights abuse in Ghana, with the police doing little or nothing to those carrying out such atrocities have led me to add a category “Human Rights in Ghana” to BrutallyUncensored.Com, to document, report and drive the conversation on what has shockingly become appropriate or acceptable in a 21st century Ghana.
Following yesterday’s publication, a Ghanaian Celebrity who was shocked by what he saw in the video furnished me with the below video, another heartbreaking brutal assault on a Ghanaian, by Ghanaians.
