The opposition MPs, in a statement, demanded that the government act in an accountable manner as is expected of democratic states by breaking its “unhelpful silence” over the abduction and disappearance of Mahran Mustapha Baajour. “Mahran Mustapha Baajour's three-month-old abduction has already led to major protests in Beirut, Lebanon where petitions have been presented to that nation's President and the Speaker of their Parliament. “The Minority, which continues to follow this matter with keen interest, has come into further information pointing to an escalation of protests by Lebanese nationals and human rights activists across the world against the Ghanaian government.
