A 67-year-old food vendor named Ama Forson has been released from prison. She spent four years and seven months incarcerated.
Forson was convicted of a drug offense. She received a sentence of 11 years imprisonment.
The drugs were allegedly found among her belongings. However, later legal proceedings cleared her of any wrongdoing.
Her release brings attention to potential miscarriages of justice within the court system.
The Judicial Service has not yet commented on the specifics of this case.
This case raises questions about the accuracy of evidence and the appeals process.
Forson can now return to her life and her food vending business.
Her freedom marks the end of a long and difficult period of wrongful imprisonment.
