The Ghana Bar Association (GBA) says it has taken over the incident involving the flogging of two persons alleged to have had a sexual encounter and leaking the video on social media.
The Association’s Women and Minors Rights Committee has been tasked to closely monitor and offer the necessary and required legal assistance to the unfortunate victims of the lawless and barbaric act.
The two were reportedly arrested by some young men in the town and were given 20 lashes each.
Reports indicate that the two were sent to the Palace, but the Wa Naa was absent, compelling the young men to take matters into their own hands and deliver punishment.
The GBA condemned the action describing it as humiliating, dehumanising, demeaning and degrading and amounts to the violation of their fundament human rights, and on attack on their persons.
