Democracy Hub says it will not relent in its efforts in the fight against illegal mining.

According to a protestor, Naa Densua, the galamsey has destroyed many forests and heavily contaminated water bodies.

Democracy Hub began its three-day demonstration on September 21 to protest against the effects of the menace on society. However, on the second day, many protesters were arrested.

Subsequently, the streets were left empty on the third day of their demonstration.

Speaking on JoyNews the Pulse on September 23 on what the group’s next line of action would be, Naa Densua said “We will go out again. You know why? My grandchildren do not deserve to be drinking galamsey water ever.”

The police declared one of the leaders of the demonstrators, Oliver Barker-Vormawor wanted after several demonstrators were arrested for various offences on Sunday.

Despite the police announcing a manhunt for him, Mr Barker-Vormawor claims he's not in hiding and is ready to cooperate with the police.

Meanwhile, Mr Barker-Vormawor has been arrested by the Ghana Police Service in connection with the recent protests.
