Mornah’s Arrest Affront to Democracy – PNC

The People’s National Convention has described as unfortunate the arrest of its national chairman Bernard Mornah by the Police Saturday.

Mr. Mornah and twelve other people were picked up and placed in cell for staging an unapproved demonstration.

They were part of the Ghana-Togo Solidarity movement who were staging a demonstration to draw attention to the political crisis in Togo.

In a statement, the PNC said: “This news comes to the PNC as a shock since such arrest could be a tantamount to an affront on our democracy to curtail citizens of their freedom and right of expression.

We are doing everything humanely possible to rescue our National Chairman out of the situation”.

BERNARD MORNAH ARREST UNFORTUNATE. PNC TREASURER.

It has come to our notice that our National Chairman Bernard Mornah has been arrested and detained at the Nima police Station on the 16th December, 2017 for an act described as an illegality by the police for his participation in a public match/procession.

This news comes to the PNC as a shock since such arrest could be a tantamount to an affront on our democracy to curtail citizens of their freedom and right of expression.

We are doing everything humanely possible to rescue our National Chairman out of the situation.

We also wish to add strongly that the PNC is not aware and did not sanction our National Chairman involvement in the that public match or procession.

PNC NATIONAL TREASURER.
