Litigation
The legal representation available within the economic means of those we work with is focused on maintaining the status quo of policing and fails to challenge the structural underpinnings which facilitate continued legal prosecution.
We believe a multi-pronged approach to litigation with proactive engagement at the pre-bail and pre-trial stages, with respect to illegal detention, torture, investigation and evidence collection aspects help in better pursuit of justice.
