Chief Justice, this is a system erosion of justice!"

VIDEO: A snippet of what transpired today at Buganda Road Chief Magistrates Court, where President @BmalinguOundo led various lawyers in defending the rights of alleged protesters.
The presiding Magistrate, Caroline Kyoshabire was unable to grant bail to the three who were ready with sureties due to time constraints, resulting in their remand to Luzira Prison until August 5.
According to the President, the Uganda Law Society provided legal aid services to over 40 accused persons facing charges of Public Nuisance.
We will continue to follow and monitor their case until the final day because the provision of legal aid services is fundamental to our values.
Appreciation goes to the various Advocates who responded promptly to help these fellow citizens regain their liberty.
