Stand With Her
In the night time hours of June 30, 1982, three judges and an army officer were abducted from their homes in Accra, Ghana and murdered. Their charred remains were found July 3, 1982 miles away from their homes.
Almost 34 years to the day, two young men and an enabler choose to go on air and spew the most abhorrent threats towards the Supreme Court (SC) judges. By far the most egregious is what was directed at the 69-year-old Chief Justice, her Ladyship Georgina Theodora Wood!
Shockingly, these men were not prosecuted by the Attorney General so the SC had to take matters into its own hands. The men were tried by the SC for contempt and sentenced to 4 months (instead of the maximum of 3 years) in jail each and fines.
Even more amazing attempt to petition the president to pardon them….led by women, of all people!
MY FELLOW GHANAIANS, DON’T YOU HAVE ANY DECENCY???
I don’t care which party you belong to because decency knows no party affiliations! It should be as innate as the desire to breathe!
So if you are Ghanaian and have any shred of decency in you, #StandWithHerLadyshipGeorg
Remember, she could be your mum, grandma, aunt or sister!

On The Wall
Let them be on notice that as Shakespeare wrote in Macbeth:
“Justice, being equal to everyone, forces us to drink from the poisoned cup that we serve to others”.
A Prayer For Ghana
Don’t Intimidate! Don’t Threaten!
“The freedom to criticize judges and other public officials is necessary to a vibrant democracy. The problem comes when healthy criticism is replaced with more destructive intimidation and sanctions.”
– Sandra Day O’Connor
Words Matter
Words…they matter!
Sure, maybe you did not intend to carry out the threat but how was the threatened supposed to know? Maybe you only intended to disrupt the lives of those you threatened through the fear your words induced. Maybe not. Maybe you were just mouthing off!
However, to the threatened, that was intimidation and in the context of what happened in 1982, that was living in terror!
We all value Freedom of Speech but for speech to stay free, words should matter!
