A high court judge hearing the galamsay trial of Chinese national Aisha Huang has warned her to stop crying in court on a regular basis.
This came after Aisha Huang sobbed when Director of Public Prosecution, Yvonne Attakorah Obuobisa told her that she purposefully re-entered Ghana despite knowing she couldn’t do so without the Controller General’s permission after being repatriated for illegal mining offences.
Aisha Huang previously told the court that she was not notified when she may return to the nation after being repatriated, so she opted to return after spending several years in China.
She began to cry frantically in open court, with tears welling up in her eyes, but was cut off by Justice Osei Marfo.
“Stop the interjection with the tears. It doesn’t do anything to me. The question is harmless, just answer and go. Today should be the last time you’re crying in my court. If you want to cry, cry in prison before you come to my court. If she cries again it is deliberate. So I don’t expect her to cry again,” Justice Lydia Osei Marfo ordered.
