Human Rights Reporters Ghana (HRRG) has added its voice to calls for justice for the late Lillian Dedjoe and Yesutor Elizabeth Akpalu whose husband and boyfriend respectively assaulted them leading to their deaths.
In a statement signed by the Executive Director, Joseph Kobla Wemakor, he said domestic violence which has become a pandemic needed to be condemned and the perpetrators prosecuted to serve as a deterrent to others.
“HRRG is aware that legal proceedings are underway thus we are calling on our law enforcement bodies, the police and the judiciary to prosecute and adjudicate fully and fairly on the cases, devoid of any form of prejudice, to ensure, most importantly in the words of Chief Justice Howard that “justice is not only done but is manifestly and undoubtedly seen to be done.”
