Peace Seekers International (PSI), an association of Ex-PNDC political detainees who suffered various lengths of detention between 1982 and 1992, have underscored that ex-President Rawlings, Kojo Tsikata and Asase Gyimah were directly responsible for their torture, ‘The Crusading Guide’ reports.
The young men were recounting the ordeal they went through in the PNDC era on the popular Joy FM current affairs programme ‘Frontpage’.
Members of the Association who were on the programme, Stanley Obeng Okyere, Alex Abubakr Alhassan, Adongo and Thomas submitted that they were tortured while in detention.
“I wish people do not talk about 31st December and June 4th because they don’t know what went into it”, Thomas was quoted ass saying.
The Peace Seekers called for compensation and resettlement because according to them, they were detained for varying lengths of time only to be told that they had been pardoned, without addressing the effects of that unfortunate act.
