My neighbours stormed into my compound, beating my dog. When I intervened, they turned on me. I called the local police station, but they arrived and took me into custody, claiming I was harassing the neighbours by feeding stray dogs in the common area and my compound. The judge sided with them, saying it was my fault. What should I do?

Based on the limited information, it seems the judge’s ruling was based on your feeding of stray dogs in the common area, not the assault. You can appeal the ruling, presenting evidence that the assault was the primary issue and the stray dog feeding was used as a pretext. Additionally, you should consult with a legal professional to understand your specific rights and options.
