A High Court in Accra (Human Rights Division), presided over by Justice Nana Brew, has placed a perpetual injunction on freelance investigative journalist Innocent Samuel Appiah, restraining him from publishing or disseminating allegations against private individual Cynthia Adjei, following a privacy breach suit.
In addition to the injunction, the court awarded costs of GH¢10,000 against the journalist.
The ruling effectively bars Mr Appiah from pursuing any investigative publications or commentary linked to the subject matter of the case, whether directly or indirectly, across both traditional and digital media platforms.
In delivering the decision, Justice Brew held that while press freedom is constitutionally guaranteed, it is not absolute and must be exercised within the bounds of the law, particularly where individual rights and reputational interests are concerned.
