The trial of #FixTheCountry convener, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, for treason has once again been postponed.

Scheduled to commence on Monday morning, May 20, 2024, this trial has been delayed for over two years since the charges were filed against him.

Barker-Vormawor was arrested in February 2022 for a social media post that the state deemed treasonous.

On April 29 of this year, Barker-Vormawor's lawyers filed an application challenging the constitutionality of the offence and requested that the case be referred to the Supreme Court.

During the court session on Monday, the judge was expected to rule on these issues to pave the way for a possible trial. However, it was revealed that the state had only responded to the application by Barker-Vormawor's lawyers that morning.

In an interview with JoyNews at the courthouse after the adjournment, Barker-Vormawor expressed his frustration.

Mr. Vormawor described the state's posturing as a "charade" and questioned why it has failed to promptly respond to the application, delaying the long-awaited trial.

"You continue to see the charade and what has happened so far. For them who paraded over 50 armed individuals and snipers, for those who believed that we were a threat to this republic, for so long they have not been able to match those words with the evidence that is required in this trial “Mr Barker-Vormawor fumed.

"If they, in fact, believe that we were intending to overthrow this government then they should show up in court and prove that to the everyday Ghanaian,“ he argued.

He also questioned the type of democracy being practiced in Ghana and challenged the state to present evidence to commence the trial.

The judge is expected to rule on the constitutionality of the offense and the issue of jurisdiction when the court reconvenes on May 27, paving the way for the trial to commence.
