Crime & Punishment of Tuesday, 31 December 2019Source: ghananewsagency.orgChinese 'Indomie sellers' go to High Court over rights violationFile photoThe five Chinese nationals, who are being held by the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) over illegal employment, have filed an application for the violation of their rights at a Sekondi High Court. Chief Superintendent of Immigration (CSI) Peter Philip Andoh said the GIS would like to wait for the outcome of the application at the Sekondi High Court before proceeding with the prosecution. Another suspect Jiauong Haun told the court that he was not aware that an application had been filed on their behalf at the High Court in Sekondi. The court noted that it appears “someone is trying to help them but they are not aware of the said help.”The court therefore adjourned the matter to January 13, awaiting the outcome of the application at the Sekondi High Court. Earlier Defence Counsel, Dr. J.E.K Abaka told the court that the accused persons would not abscond because their passports were with the Police and that they should be granted bail.
