In its 2022 annual Country Report on Human Rights Practices, the U.S. Department of State criticised Ghana for a number of violations of human rights.
The report, which was published in April 2023, accused Ghana of violating a variety of human rights, including extrajudicial killings, arbitrary or unlawful killings, torture, and harsh, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment by the government or on its behalf.
A serious lack of investigation and accountability for gender-based violence, including domestic or intimate partner violence, crimes involving violence or threats of violence, unjustified arrests or prosecutions of journalists, significant interference with the freedom of peaceful assembly, serious government corruption, and serious restrictions on free expression and the media were also revealed in the report.
- According to Musk, owning Twitter has been quite difficult.
- According to Global InfoAnalytics, 21% of NPP supporters want Ken Agyapong to lead the group.
The report claims that even if the administration made some efforts to combat official corruption and violations of human rights, whether they occurred in the security forces or elsewhere in the government, impunity remained a problem.
According to the research, police impunity was a result of corruption, brutality, inconsistent training, a lack of oversight, and an overworked legal system.
It stated that police often failed to respond to reports of crimes. In many instances, police did not respond to complaints unless members of the public paid for police transportation and other operating expenses.
The report also mentioned that on February 11, police arrested Oliver Barker-Vormawor, an activist critical of the government, in response to a series of Facebook posts.
After initially charging him with misdemeanour charges of making false statements, police upgraded the charges to felony treason and held him in prison for 35 days before a judge released him on bail.
