Pressure group Democracy Hub has raised concerns about the health of its convener, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, and has urged authorities to “act swiftly to address his health needs.”
In a statement released on Thursday, the group revealed that Oliver was rushed to the Police Hospital earlier that morning due to serious health concerns.
“Oliver remains in police custody, having been one of the 53 activists unjustly detained during the #StopGalamsey and #OccupyJulorbiHouse protests on September 21, 2024.
“Currently, medical professionals are conducting tests to evaluate his condition and determine if hospitalization is necessary.
This is the second time Oliver’s health has deteriorated since his unlawful detention by the Ghana Police Service on September 23, 2024.”
“Despite multiple appeals to the High Courts in Accra for his release, Oliver is the only protester who has been denied bail, while the other 52 activists were granted bail on October 9, 2024.
We are deeply concerned for his well-being and urge the authorities to act swiftly to address his health needs,” the statement continued.
The group emphasized that it is closely monitoring Oliver’s situation and will keep the public informed as more information becomes available.
“We encourage the public to keep Oliver in their thoughts and prayers during this critical time and to remain patient as we await further updates on his condition,” it concluded.
