Lisbon. Ombudsman prepares report on police action

The Ombudsman will prepare a report on police actions during a housing protest in Lisbon, following monitoring by the National Prevention Mechanism (NPM). This report will include conclusions and recommendations based on the collected data, which aims to identify risks and potential mistreatment. The NPM's presence was initiated by the Ombudsman to prevent excessive use of police force. The monitoring process encompasses various phases, including observation of police interventions and evaluation of procedures. The NPM operates independently and confidentially, ensuring thorough analysis of the facts before making recommendations to relevant authorities.
