The convener of the Democracy Hub protest, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, has refuted claims that he is in hiding and has been declared wanted by the police.
Barker-Vormawor referred to the claims as “baseless and misleading.” On Sunday, September 22, several Democracy Hub demonstrators were arrested.
The police thereafter published a statement saying that a manhunt was underway to apprehend Barker-Vormawor and others for their alleged involvement in unlawful behavior during the event.
Barker-Vormawor denied the reports in a Facebook post, claiming that he has been in “consistent communication with senior officers within the Police hierarchy regarding my whereabouts and availability.”
He added that his “legal team stands ready to cooperate and will be in touch with the relevant authorities to ascertain the appropriate steps required.”
