Housing. Public Prosecutor opens investigation into police intervention in Lisbon

The Public Prosecutor's Office has launched an investigation into police interventions during housing protests in Lisbon. This inquiry follows incidents recorded on October 15 in Porto and on October 20, 25, and November 1 in Lisbon and Porto. The investigation will assess police actions, particularly the use of force during dispersals, which resulted in injuries. The Inspectorate-General of Internal Administration has also initiated an administrative process to evaluate the circumstances of these interventions. Additionally, the Prosecutor's Office has referred cases of approximately 85 detained protesters to inquiry, pending a Constitutional Court decision on the legality of a curfew for protests established in 1974.
