Most of our police and judges are very unreasonably cruel. They just take delight in showing you where power lies; just to bully you into humiliation. Those who do these despicable things to innocent citizens deserve all the curses in the world which will make them suffer in prolonged and painful sickness. Amen.

Very well stated. There's no reason to treat a human, not even one who has been found guilty in this manner.

What is this lady's crime? If indeed she has committed a crime, it's not the duty of the police to mete out just ...

What is this lady's crime? If indeed she has committed a crime, it's not the duty of the police to mete out justice. And 'justice" doesn't mean applying justice beyond what the law states like we've seen here. Ghanaians don't seem to know how to separate these issues. Politics has blinded most people.

Surely, if one associates oneself with "buga-buga" aggression and other violent thuggery activities in the public domain, nobody should duly expect to be treated with kid gloves. Hence, there should be no cry for humiliated Florence Nelson. Elsewhere, it's generally said that: "once bitten, twice shy". The humiliating case of Sedinam Tamakloe's stolen money is still fresh in the minds of most good and decent compatriots. Such honest people are still biting their fingers that the NDC was allowed to devise a perversely uncouth and wicked plan for Sedinam Tamakloe to flee the country, and abscond immediate punishment. Albeit, her days are already numbered; and sooner or later she will surely be made to pay for her crimes against mother Ghana.

Felicity, go back and play the videos of your so called demonstration against galamsey. Are you above the law? If you create violence in the country you will be arrested. Does your demonstration give you the right to block the roads to the hospital? Shame on you.
Try it again and you will go straight to jail.

Which justice system treat suspects like Kings and Queens? P Diddy is in one of the hardest prison facilities in America. Ask America security the meaning of Water boarding interrogation.

Felicity you have no fight with Chinese money changers for galamsey in the dirty waters of Father Ghana's filthy rivers and dying forests. He bite the black necked spitting cobra what bite him back. The gangs and police share our money with the black necked Chinese.

Blame your behaviour and conduct. Slaves would not behave the way you did. Keep quiet and face the consequences of your actions.

She is an irresponsible attention seeker ; just look at how she's posturing for the camera, as if she's a model, albeit with a hideous wig and comical pair of pants.

Nobody is allow to use his or her phone in custody even to keep your money in custody when you get arrested. Apart from your clothes you hand over everything on you to the police until you’re released that’s what happens all over the world if you don’t know. Police cells and prisons are not a luxury place at all so you better think twice next time millions of people have died in cells and prisons you better watch what’s you’re doing.

This is a serious matter . It is of concern to all of us, or should be at least. The way in which these protesters were held and treated is disturbing. Yooo.
