PSP shares social media video showing aggression toward police during protests
Following police intervention during housing protests in Lisbon and Porto on Sunday 25 October, the police force released a video on social media asserting that officers were also subjected to violence. The Inspectorate-General of Internal Administration (IGAI) and the Ombudsman have opened inquiries into the events, which resulted in 33 injuries and 33 arrests for disobedience.
Why it matters
While this reports on public order, the incident is the subject of ongoing official investigations by the IGAI and the Ombudsman; as a resident, it is relevant to follow if you participate in protests, as investigations into police conduct may impact future enforcement or protest policies.CNN PortugalRead original ↗
