MP opens investigation into police intervention in Lisbon

The Public Prosecutor's Office has launched an investigation into police actions during housing protests in Lisbon and Porto. This follows incidents on October 15, 20, 25, and November 1, where police used force to disperse demonstrators. The Inspectorate-General of Internal Administration is also conducting an administrative process to assess the circumstances of these interventions, which resulted in injuries. The investigation will evaluate police procedures, and the Public Prosecutor's Office has referred cases of detained protesters to await a Constitutional Court decision regarding the legality of a curfew on protests. Approximately 85 protesters were detained for disobedience during these events.
