OccupyGhana is calling on the security forces in the country to expedite action in prosecuting perpetrators who mob attacked a lady in Kumasi who is alleged to have attempted to steal GH¢1,100.

The prosecution of the offenders, the pressure group believes will serve as a deterrent to others.

In a statement issued by OccupyGhana, it said, “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’.

OccupyGhana described mob justice as barbaric, unjust, criminal saying it has fatal consequences which in turn violate their dignity.

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

The lady whose name is not yet known was captured on video being manhandled by some men to the point of stripping her naked.
