The Convention People's Party (CPP) on Tuesday condemned the dumping of human excreta on the premises of the Crusading Guide in Accra describing it as a shameful and dirty act that would blot the pages of Ghanaian history.

The action would also "tell a sad tale of intolerance and total disregard of the will of the people", the CPP said in a statement signed by Mr. Kwesi Pratt Jnr, Chairman of the party' publicity committee.

"The spread of human excreta on the premises of the newspaper could only have been done by those who for the last 20 years made an art out of the blatant violation of the human and democratic rights of Ghanaians."

It said the harassment of the staff of the paper is a crude attempt to subvert the constitutional order, and the right to free expression of all Ghanaians.

The CPP said everything possible should be done to find the perpetrators and those who masterminded it and appropriate punishment meted out to them.
