Rapid Legal Response

Chapter Four Uganda provides rapid, efficient and quick legal response to violations meted out on human rights defenders and pro-democracy activists during their activities.

This response takes place particularly when such activists are ill-treated at the hands of state agents and are subjected to arbitrary arrests and detention.

We accomplish this goal through a developed emergency call mechanism and system that triggers the organization’s resources (both human and financial) to respond to emergency legal situations.

This mechanism will further be developed to include internet phone applications, a toll free legal aid help line for civil rights, and other mechanisms that can activate Chapter Four’s swift and immediate legal representation and intervention in emergency situations.
