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 instances of police violence, including the use of batons and rubber bullets, and call for an independent investigation into the government's role in these actions. The party argues that the police operations reflect a coordinated state strategy to suppress political protest, emphasizing the need for accountability at all levels of government. They urge the Council of Europe to intervene urgently to ensure respect for human rights and to prevent further violations.
