Re: Responses to Mr. Rawlings Asking for Justice

MR. RAWLINGS CALL FOR
ALL NEW INVESTIGATION WELCOME

Mr. Rawlings,
we all appreciate you sensitivity and compassionate demonstrations towards the
gruesome, grisly, horrific and barbaric murder of Yaa- Naa’s and his elders. I
fully support your energy and effort to bring to book those who did this
horrendous act. Your call for unsullied investigations is completely welcome.

Also, we all
know that Mr. Rawlings is a proponent of equal right and justice. That is, Rawlings
believed in using the same measuring stick for everyone. So if Mr. Rawlings is
calling on the authorities to do everything within their means to find the perpetrators
of Ya Na’s case, the Andani’s are not the only Ghanaians who have suffered or
denied justice. A number of Ghanaians have suffered comparable fate in the
hands of Mr. Rawlings AFRC / PNDC.
One clear
example was the terrible and unspeakable killings of the THREE HIGH COURT
JUDGES on June 30th 1982. These operations must have and need new
and fresh investigations to unearth who is or were behind the dreadful act. Therefore,
I am calling on Mr. Rawlings to also advocate for justice for the families of
the THREE HIGH COURT JUDGES because every Ghanaian deserves justice.

Kwame Asante
