The group says mob attacks ensnare the innocent

OccupyGhana wants justice for lady mob attacked in Kumasi
Pressure group, OccupyGhana, has joined loudening
calls demanding justice for a lady who was
stripped naked and abused by a Kumasi mob.

The lady’s ordeal was caught on video and has
been in circulation on social media since Friday,
February 17, 2017.

The unidentified lady is alleged to have been
caught attempting to steal GH¢1,100 from a shop
owner in the PZ Area in Adum, Kumasi.

Others say the lady, believed to be a Nigerian,
attempted to steam foodstuffs from a market
nearby.

Shortly after the video went viral, many have
condemned the brutality meted out to the woman.

Executive Director of the Ark Foundation, Angela
Dwamena Aboagye, recently joined gender activists
who have condemned the mob attacked.

In a release Tuesday, OccupyGhana said “the
practice of mob justice is, unfortunately, a
rather dark side of our country’s history and
does not seem to want to go away. It is
unconstitutional, barbaric, unjust, unfair and
criminal, and often has fatal consequences.”

The group says mob attacks ensnare the innocent
and deprives law enforcement of the chance to
thoroughly investigate cases.

“It denies victims due process and constitutes
an abuse of their human rights and violation of
their dignity,” says OccupyGhana.

OccupyGhana, which is made up of eminent lawyers
and other professionals, wants the police to use
the video to arrest the men responsible for the
abuse of this poor woman.

“We demand that they [attackers] be prosecuted
to the full extent of the law as a deterrent to
others. We appeal to all Ghanaians to respect the
individual human rights and dignity of their
fellow men and women so that together we can grow
this great nation,” OcuppyGhana said in the
release
