Open letter from lawyers contests police interventions and defends the disobedience of PSP agents

A letter signed by 430 lawyers criticizes the actions of the Public Security Police (PSP) during housing rights protests, asserting that police orders to disperse demonstrators are illegal. The lawyers argue that the right to protest is fundamental and that the use of tents symbolizes the message of the demonstration. They claim that police interventions lack legal justification and that demonstrators should not be penalized for disobeying unlawful orders. The letter calls for respect for fundamental rights and urges police officers to exercise their right to disobedience against illegitimate orders. It emphasizes the peaceful nature of the protests and the need for authorities to uphold democratic legality.
