VIDEO: We will retaliate any violent act against our members - Hannah Bissiw

The National Women's Organizer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Hannah Louisa Bissiw says the party has decided to retaliate any act that the government takes against its members.

According to her, she has learnt lessons from the past when she was assaulted by persons who were not prosecuted.

She said she was beaten during the 2019 Ayawaso West by-election but did not file a police complaint because it would have come to nought and since then she has decided to take matters into her own hands.

"If you slap me, I will slap you back. If you stab me, I will stab you back. We should stop this hypocritical attitude of because they are beating us and we are not beating back; it's fake peace," Madam Bissiw said.

"There can never be peace without justice and you can't say because you are beating me and I do not respond to your beatings then there is peace and when I say if you slap me I will slap you back then you will tell me that I am being violent. What about you who is practising the violence?

"I’m only telling you that we’re going to be diplomatic. Whatever the NPP government gives us we in the NDC shall also give back to them. If they give us love we shall also give them love, if they give us caning we shall also give them back caning, if they give us shooting we shall also give them back shooting.”

She made this known after a handing over ceremony organized by Tertiary Education Institutions Network (TEIN) at the University of Education, Winneba, Ajumako Campus, over the weekend.
