The Achimota School in a press release has disagreed with the Human Rights Division of the Accra High Court ruling Monday, May 31, to admit Tyron Iras Marhguy, one of the Rastafarian students who was refused admission by the School because of his dreadlocks.
In the ruling, the Human Rights Court One, presided over by Justice Gifty Adjei Addo held that failure to admit the applicant because of his dreadlocks, which is a manifestation of his religious right is a violation of his human right, right to education and dignity.
In the press release, it was stated that the School Board disagrees with the ruling of the court and has therefore directed its lawyers to appeal against the ruling.
