TIP continued to offer pro bono legal services for indigent persons in correction centers. This month we spotlight the case of Miss M. Miss M was charged with assault for intervening in a fight between the elder brother and a neighbor. During the fight, the neighbors beckoned on the police, who stormed the neighborhood and arrested Miss, her brother, and others at the scene.
Miss M spent over seven months in detention. TIP met her on one of its visits to the prison and took up the case on pro bono basis. She regained her freedom after the court struck out her case for lack of diligent prosecution.
