President John Mahama has pardoned three persons serving a four month jail term for criminal contempt.
A statement signed by the Communications Minister Dr Omane Boamah said the decision was taken on the advice of the Council of State and was on compassionate grounds.
A radio host with the Accra based Montie FM Salifu Maase and two panelists, Alistair Nelson and Godwin Ako-Gunn were found guilty for scandalizing the court and sentenced to four months in prison.
Barely a month after being in jail, the three can now heave a sigh of freedom following the remission of their sentence.
Background
The three had threatened to rape the Chief Justice Mrs Georgina Theodora Wood and kill other judges who sat on a case brought against the Electoral Commission.
