Porto camp denounces plainclothes police identifying protesters

The Acampada do Porto movement reported that plainclothes police were identifying and detaining protesters after a demonstration. Allegations include police showing photographs for identification at the station and similar actions occurring in hospitals. Lawyer Ricardo Salazar expressed concerns about potential political persecution and the infringement of rights, emphasizing that such actions have not been seen in Portugal since the Estado Novo. He highlighted the escalation of violence against protesters, which undermines the rule of law. Recent police interventions led to the dismantling of camps and multiple injuries among protesters and police, with demands for housing rights remaining unaddressed.
