Ghana Authorises Engagement of Ben Crump Over Deaths of Nationals in US
Ghana's New York mission has been authorised to engage civil rights lawyer Ben Crump to support efforts to seek justice.
Ghana's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has authorised the country's mission in New York to engage American civil rights lawyer Ben Crump as it seeks accountability for the deaths of Ghanaian nationals in the United States.
In its November 10 announcement, the ministry said the engagement would not impose a cost on Ghanaian taxpayers. The government described the step as part of its responsibility to protect the rights and dignity of citizens abroad.
The ministry has not yet detailed the individual legal actions to be taken or a timetable for proceedings. Families and the wider Ghanaian diaspora will be watching for further information about the scope of the legal assistance.
