A planned protest against illegal mining has been stopped by a court order. The Circuit Court at Juaso granted an interim injunction. This prevents the demonstration from happening.
The Municipal Security Committee applied for the injunction. They argued that the protest could lead to unrest in the Asante Akyem South Municipality. The demonstration was scheduled for March 13, 2026.
Court filings show the Municipal Security Committee's concerns about public safety. The committee stated that the protest might disrupt peace in the area.
The organizers of the demonstration have been notified of the court's decision. Further information on the legal proceedings was not immediately available from the Judicial Service.
