Left Bloc files complaints with the UN and Council of Europe regarding police actions against protesters

The Left Bloc has filed complaints with the UN and the Council of Europe regarding police actions against housing rights protesters in Lisbon and Porto. The complaints detail police violence, including the use of batons and rubber bullets, and call for an independent investigation into the government's role in the repression of protests. The Bloc argues that the coordinated police operations reflect a state strategy to suppress political dissent. They urge the Council of Europe to intervene and ensure accountability for human rights violations, emphasizing the need for independent investigations and dialogue with Portuguese authorities.
