Adjetey Anang: There're bigger fish to fry; have mercy on remanded Democracy Hub protesters
Although enthusiastic about law enforcement, Adjetey Anang has asked for mercy for citizens arrested during the Democracy Hub protests.
He spoke to Prince Benjamin (PB) on the Class Morning Show on Friday, October 3, 2024.
“They were a group of frustrated people, concerned citizens, who wanted to let governance know that galamsey has to be stopped,” the decorated actor said.
“And if in the cause of that they did a few things to break the law – yes, the law can have its due way because we can’t say that just because they were addressing a sensitive topic, even if they break the law, we should turn a blind eye to that.”
The University of Media, Arts & Communications (UniMAC) lecturer added: “I’m hoping they’ve not broken any law but the law, I’d appeal, should be a bit lenient to these people [if they have].”
The Adjetey Anang: A Story of Faith, Imperfection & Resilience author argued there were bigger fish to fry compared to the remanded citizens from the anti-illegal mining (galamsey) Democracy Hub protest of September 21 to 23, 2024.
“At the end of the day, the people who are causing much more harm are not behind bars,” he said.
The protesters, “representing a whole lot of people,” were only “trying to do something” to challenge authorities to address a national menace, he emphasised.
