The Volta Regional Police Command in Ho has arrested 21 persons said to be LGBTQI activists at Godokpui, a suburb of Ho.<\/p>\n

Police have said they were having a workshop on LGBTQI. The suspects were made up of 16 women and five men between the ages of 20-35.<\/p>\n

They were arraigned before the Ho Circuit Court after their arrest on Thursday and charged with unlawful assembly.<\/p>\n

The court, presided over by Justice Felix Dadzomor, declined the bail application by the counsel for the accused persons.<\/p>\n

Some items retrieved from the suspects included materials on LGBTQI+ and transgender activities used during their gathering and their mobile phones, which are in the custody of the police to aid in their investigations.<\/p>\n

According to the police, the programme was sponsored by some organisations championing the activities of LGBTQI.<\/p>\n

The Volta Regional Police Public Relations Officer, Sargent Prince Dogbatse, told Citi News, \u201cclearly there is an agenda by these people to propagate the LGBTQ behaviour.\u201d<\/p>\n

The case has been adjourned to June 4, 2021, while suspects have been remanded in the custody of the Regional Police Command.<\/p>\n\n
