Ghana: Anti-LGBTQ activists plan protest march in Accra Oct. 8
Anti-LGBTQ activists plan march from Obra Spot to Supreme Court of Accra, Ghana, from 07:00 Oct. 8.
Activists plan to protest in Accra on Oct. 8 to demand the final approval of a controversial anti-LGBTQ bill. Participants will gather from 07:00 at Kwame Nkrumah Circle (also called Obra Spot) and march towards the Supreme Court of Accra. It is unclear how many participants the event may draw.
Increased security and traffic disruptions are likely along the march route. Clashes are not anticipated, but skirmishes with security forces remain possible.
Consider taking alternative routes to circumvent impacted areas. Leave the area immediately at the first sign of any confrontation. Heed the advice of security personnel.
