Protesters detained a week ago in Lisbon learn the decision of the Public Prosecutor's Office

Fifty-five protesters detained in Lisbon for advocating housing rights will learn the outcome of their case today. The proceedings will take place at the Lisbon Justice Campus, where they may have their case provisionally suspended or face summary judgment. The protesters are accused of disobedience after resisting police removal of their tents on October 20. The housing rights 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 today, coinciding with the start of the 2027 State Budget discussions.
