Amnesty International lauds Ghana's human rights record

Amnesty International (AI) Ghana Section has commended the government and people of Ghana for improved human rights record but said serial killings of women and rape and defilement cases pose great challenges.

The General Secretary of AI, Mr Felix A. Lartey, stated this at a seminar for selected members of the association from the southern sector of the country at Koforidua in the Eastern Region, and called on members to intensify public education on human rights issues and the abolition of all forms of human rights abuses.
