Students and staff at the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge remain deeply concerned about the wellbeing of Oliver Barker-Vormawor, a PhD student at the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge, who was arrested on 11 February at Kotoka International Airport, in Ghana, and subsequently charged with treason felony.

Oliver's legal team in Ghana have warned that there have been breaches of due process in his treatment. This has been confirmed by other independent sources. ̽»¨Ö±²¥Vice-Chancellor has written to Ghanaian authorities to express his concern for Oliver’s welfare, requesting that the rule of law be applied and that Oliver be granted access to a fair trial. ̽»¨Ö±²¥ ̽»¨Ö±²¥ is closely monitoring developments. We welcome the news that Oliver was granted bail by a court on 16 March but we note with concern that, according to the latest information we have received, Oliver has not yet been released on bail.
