The case in which two citizens are suing the government to know the terms under which Ghana agreed to accommodate two ex-inmates of the notorious US prison base at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba has made some progress with a new ruling.
The Supreme Court on Thursday ordered that the agreement be produced by government for lawyers of the two plaintifs, Margaret Bamful and Henry Nana Boakye, to scrutinise – overriding government’s concern that releasing the documents would compromise state secrets.
The Attorney General had argued that producing the agreement would violate portions of the state secret’s act, but the court was of the opinion that handing the documents over to the lawyers posed no such threat.
The two are suing the Attorney General, the Interior Minister and the President, accusing him of acting illegally in bringing the Guantanamo duo into the country.
Mahmud Umar Muhammad Bin Atef and Khalid Muhammad Salih Al-Dhuby are two ex-inmates of Guantanamo Bay being housed in Ghana by the government at the behest of its US counterparts. The issue became a hot button topic a few months back, and has since died down, although the court case lingers on.
