Protesters detained in Lisbon learn the decision of the case
Fifty-five protesters for housing rights detained in Lisbon will appear before the Public Prosecutor's Office to determine the next steps in their case. The proceedings will take place at 10:00 AM at the Lisbon Justice Campus. The protesters are suspected of disobedience after resisting police orders to dismantle their tents during a demonstration. The housing protests began on October 10 in Porto and spread to Lisbon, leading to police interventions resulting in injuries and arrests. Support vigils and protests against police violence are planned, coinciding with the parliamentary discussion of the state budget for 2027. Activists argue that their actions are a constitutional right to protest against the housing crisis.
