Libel case ends
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The libel case brought by Kojo Tsikata, Ghana's head of national security, against the Independent newspaper ended yesterday. There will be a ruling in the next two weeks on whether Mr Tsikata was libelled in a report that an inquiry had found he 'masterminded' the murder of three of the country's high court judges but was never prosecuted. The story did not mention that the Ghanaian attorney-general later ruled that there was not enough evidence to justify prosecution.
