Since 26 October 2017, Togolese living in the diaspora in Ghana have been the subject of judicial harassment when they organized an event in accordance with the rules governing the organization of public events in that host country. The meeting was going well when the police stormed to disperse the protesters, ransacking the hangars and arresting the main organizer Fousséna DJAGBA and twenty other Togolese compatriots. Then began judicial harassment since they were brought before the courts before obtaining bail.
According to the advice of these compatriots, no charge was brought against anyone, and yet the Ghanaian justice before which they were presented, continue to pursue them under false pretenses, as misleading as wacky. And this is the third time since they have been released that they appear in court. Since October 26, therefore, it is the third time that the trial is adjourned. On the morning of Tuesday, January 9, 2018, they once again appeared before the judge. Unfortunately, the verdict was sent back to February 9th because, according to our on-site correspondent, three of the 27 people were absent and the absences were as well justified. The judge believes that these three people must be present before he returns the verdict to situate them on their fate and yet no charge was brought against them. The council of Togolese diaspora in Ghana, very reassured, described the attitude of the Ghanaian justice of "Foolish case" because the file being empty.
What is hiding the continuation of the lawsuit?
Through the legal prosecution of Togolese in the diaspora in Ghana, should we understand that it is because we protested against the regime in place in Togo, denouncing that the Ghanaian authorities who pilot mediation in Togo want to prevent any demonstration of denunciation of Togolese power and support to the Togolese people in struggle for the reconquest of their confiscated freedom? It will be remembered in this connection the demonstration of the Ghanaian PNC political party Bernard Mornah. We can perhaps make this analogy when, despite the fact that Bernard Mornah respected the texts that govern the organization of public demonstrations in our country, he was embastished with all his staff who organized this event to support the Togolese people. fight. No reason can legitimize this state of affairs when we know that with the published documents that attest that the organizers were in good condition that they can embastil and lock them for a few hours at the NIMA police station. It is in this same way that we unjustly dressed the Togolese who demonstrated on October 28, 2017 since they were well and truly in good standing
The guilty silence of the leaders of the coalition of the 14 political parties of the opposition
One has the impression that those compatriots who are now bowing under a lawsuit in Ghana are left to their fate, abandoned to themselves. Even today, they were alone before the judge in Ghana. Since this harassment of compatriots in Ghana began, there has been no press release from the coalition, even to denounce the injustice they are subjected to or to provide any support to them. While it was for the same cause, the common cause they manifested. Curiously also this event was included in the program of the demonstrations retained by the coalition this 28 November 2017.
What is curious and perplexing to many compatriots in Ghana is that recently a delegation of three coalition leaders was in Ghana. According to one source, the subject was posed but the three officials believed the lies told to them by the Ghanaian authorities. Today, the documents show that the rule was followed contrary to what the three politicians believed. Even if it must be admitted, common sense would have it that once they heard the Ghanaian authorities, they had to seek to listen to one of the organizers of the demonstration to get their version of the facts and if need be even confront the two parties when they have another version of the facts to situate the responsibilities.
Worse still, some coalition leaders are displaced in some African countries where the Togolese diaspora of this host country has organized, like those in Ghana, demonstrations denouncing the regime in place in Togo. They were able to benefit from the support of a leader of the size of the coalition even if the demonstration did not take place. A behavior strongly denounced by those in Ghana who have done everything and have not had any support so far, not even moral from the coalition of 14 political parties. Where is the difference between what the Togolese diaspora in Ghana did, respecting the rule of law, as evidenced by these documents that we publish and what those residing in Senegal have done? Why this double standard? Why let these compatriots suffer martyrdom in a foreign country where they have no one to come to their aid?
Strongly that the first leaders of the coalition act wisely in speaking with the Togolese compatriots of the diaspora in Ghana to really know what is happening in this file to not deliver them to the wolves because the regime in place in Togo has its tentacles all over the world and can validly play the submarine to not only put pressure on the Ghanaian authorities to silence these compatriots or prevent the organization of other demonstrations against him in this country host to Togolese refugees who fled the barbarity orchestrated by the same Togolese leaders in their country of origin.
