The Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) has called for urgent action following a surge in attacks, threats and intimidation against journalists across the country. The concerns were raised at a press conference held yesterday in Accra by the President of the GJA, Mr Albert Dwumfour. Mr Dwumfour said the journalist was beaten, briefly detained and had content deleted from his mobile phone. He demanded sustained police protection for journalists, expedited investigations, and the prosecution of individuals issuing threats or inciting violence. Mr Dwumfour stressed that attacks on journalists amounted to attacks on Ghana’s democracy, vowing that the GJA would pursue accountability until justice was served.
