Larry Dogbe must file appeal within 10 days or return to custody - PRINPAG
Larry Dogbe, Managing Editor of The Herald, was granted a conditional 10-day bail window on Thursday, June 25, 2026, following an ex parte application to stay the execution of a custodial sentence handed down by an Accra High Court. Mr. David Tamakloe, President of PRINPAG, stated on Citi FM on Friday, June 26, 2026, that "The bail is to take effect for just 10 days. If after the 10 days he does not return to the court with a proper notice, then he goes back into custody, because this was filed ex parte. He needs to file an appeal on notice."
The emergency relief is a stopgap measure to allow the defense to transition the matter from an ex parte status to a substantive appeal on notice. Mr. Tamakloe explained that the bail does not absolve the journalist of the conviction but acts as a temporary suspension of custody for proper legal filings. The judicial clock began ticking immediately upon the granting of the bail, requiring the legal team to formally file the appeal and serve all relevant parties within the stipulated timeframe. The appeal will then be argued by both parties, after which a final decision will be taken on the contempt appeal. Justice Isaac Addo presided over the Accra High Court that found Mr. Dogbe guilty of contempt of court.
