The Ghana Police Service has dropped the charges against some key members of the pressure group, Let My Vote Count Alliance.
police had earlier charged the members for destroying state properties during the September 16 demonstration held in Accra.
According to one of the members of the group who was arrested, the police was forced to drop the charges against them because the police had no case considering the evidence and video recording they had.
He added that they were processed to go to court Thursday but for some unknown reasons the charges were dropped against them.
He told Accra-based Citi FM that, they were prepared for the charges levelled against them because Ghanaians had witnessed what ensued between members of the pressure group and the Ghana Police Service.
“After all the brutality they meted against us the protesters…with one of us loosing an eye…we have people been beaten and brutalised, hot water canon being poured on us, upon all these they wanted to take us to court giving the video evidence out there in the public domain?” he asked.
“But I am sure Ghanaians listening and watching events that have unfolded on September 16 will make their own deduction as to why the police have redrawn their case”, he said.
Two weeks ago members of the Let My Vote Count Alliance picketed the streets of Accra to send their petition to the Electoral Commission (EC) office but the police used tear gas and other missiles to disperse the protesters after they veered off the routes assigned to them.
The protesters on Tuesday secured clearance from the court to embark on another demonstration to send their petition to the office of the EC but later in the day the police secured an injunction from the court to stop the protestors from embarking on another demonstration.
They advised the pro pressure group to fix a later date in October to send their petition to the EC.
