Democracy Hub demo: Over 15 protesters arrested

Several protesters from the Democracy Hub group have been arrested by police at the 37 Roundabout on the second day of their three-day anti-galamsey protest.

The arrests come after the police issued a warning to the protesters not to assemble at the same location as the previous day.

The police have yet to provide an official statement on the exact number of people detained or the specific charges they may face but it is estimated that about 20 of the protestors have been picked up by the police.

However, the arrests have sparked widespread discussion on social media, with many calling for clarity on the situation and others expressing concerns over the right to peaceful assembly.

Police took inventory of mobile phones seized from arrested protesters.

However, traffic is fluid at the 37 roundabouts, unlike Day one, September 21, when protesters blocked all roads around the intersection causing inconvenience for motorists.
