Ghanaians are not safe – da Rocha

 

The Statesman reports the Chairman of the Busia Foundation, Mr B.J. da Rocha, as saying that threats to human rights exist in all sectors of the Ghanaian society.

According to the story, Mr da Rocha, presenting a paper on “The threats to human rights in present day Ghana” at a forum organised by the Busia Foundation in Accra, said abuses of human rights have occurred at all levels of society by individuals, communities and government, and it must not therefore, be assumed that the guarantee of human rights in the Constitution will automatically put an end to abuses.

Primarily is the overthrow of the Constitution. “If the Constitution is subverted and overthrown?..everything guaranteed by it disappears, Mr da Rocha was quoted as saying.
