Thirteen more protesters who participated in the Democracy Hub demonstrations against illegal mining (Galamsey) were arraigned before the Accra Circuit Court on September 25.
The thirteen included #FixTheCountry executive, Felicity Nelson.
Three more persons including Convener, Oliver Barker Vormawor were absent when the case was called.
Barker Vormawor was hospitalized after taking ill on Tuesday night.
This brings to fifty-three (53) the number of protesters arraigned before the court. Hearing of the case was stood down after lead counsel for the protesters, Dr Justice Srem Sai told the court that they had not been served the charge sheet.
The Judge, Kwabena Obiri Yeboah therefore ordered the prosecution to serve the lawyers.
