The mechanism of the Ombudsman in monitoring the PSP protests

A National Prevention Mechanism (MNP) team is monitoring a housing protest in Lisbon to oversee police actions and prevent abuses. Members in orange vests are present to ensure compliance with laws during the demonstration and subsequent overnight camp. The MNP, part of the Ombudsman’s office, was created to prevent torture and cruel treatment, monitoring various locations where individuals may be deprived of liberty. Their presence at protests aims to assess police intervention and ensure rights are upheld. A report will be generated after the event, potentially offering recommendations based on observations.
