The Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA) has criticised a High Court decision placing a perpetual injunction on freelance investigative journalist Innocent Samuel Appiah, describing the ruling as restrictive and troubling for press freedom. MFWA Executive Director Sulemana Brimah stated that the judgment poses a threat to investigative journalism in Ghana and must be challenged. The injunction, issued by an Accra High Court, bars Appiah from publishing or sharing any allegations concerning private individual Cynthia Adjei, who sued the journalist for breaching her privacy. The ruling prevents him from releasing investigative findings related to the matter across traditional and digital media platforms.
