The Inter-Party Resistance, (IPRAN) said it has observed with great concern and utmost distraught the recent growing spate of insecurity, mostly perpetuated by the state security with government backing.
The group led by Benard Monah said it has also followed the discourse on the recent brutalities and have decided to throw its full support behind the NDC Youth Wing in the organisation of the ‘March for Justice’ scheduled for Tuesday, 6th July, 2021.
“IPRAN cannot sit unconcerned and close its eyes to this abuse of the rights of the citizenry and the subtle attempts by this inept and insensitive regime to continue to perpetuate this political atrocities and injustice on our rather young and fragile democracy, a democracy our forefathers laid their lives for” the statement said.
It also commended the various activists who have kept the flame of the resistance burning particularly #FixTheCountry Movement adding that “This protest march bears in all its essence the core of Ghana’s quest to restore dignity, peace, inclusion, tranquility, accountability and social justice which has been brutally violated and currently stands at its all-time low”.
The group called on “all progressives and members of all our member political parties to roll up their sleeves, put on their boots and turn up for this all-important historic Protest March intended to draw the much needed public attention to the injustice, the flagrant abuse of power and the wanton democratisation of political atrocities clothed under COVID19 law enforcement”.

Inter-Party Resistance – IPRAN
IPRAN JOINS THE ‘MARCH FOR JUSTICE’
The Inter-Party Resistance, IPRAN has observed with great concern and utmost distraught the recent growing spate of insecurity, mostly perpetuated by the state security with government backing. We have also followed the discourse on the recent brutalities and have decided to throw its full support behind the NDC Youth Wing in the organisation of the ‘March for Justice’ scheduled for Tuesday, 6th July, 2021.
Whiles at it, we want to use this opportunity to commend the various activists who have kept the flame of the resistance burning particularly #FixTheCountry Movement.
This protest march bears in all its essence the core of Ghana’s quest to restore dignity, peace, inclusion, tranquillity, accountability and social justice which has been brutally violated and currently stands at its all time low.
It is now amply evident, that lives of ordinary Ghanaians have been under threat since Akufo Addo assumed the reigns of government in 2017. This seeming threat has been manifested by statesponsored brutalities that have maimed and taken the precious lives of vulnerable innocent Ghanaian citizens.
IPRAN cannot sit unconcerned and close its eyes to this abuse of the rights of the citizenry and the subtle attempts by this inept and insensitive regime to continue to perpetuate this political atrocities and injustice on our rather young and fragile democracy, a democracy our forefathers laid their lives for.
We are therefore calling on all progressives and members of all our member political parties to roll up their sleeves, put on their boots and turn up for this all-important historic Protest March intended to draw the much needed public attention to the injustice, the flagrant abuse of power and the wanton democratisation of political atrocities clothed under COVID19 law enforcement.
Signed
Cde. Bernard Mornah
(Convener)
