Public Prosecutor investigates plainclothes PSP officer in Porto and firecracker incident in Lisbon
The Public Prosecutor's Office (PGR) has opened investigations into the use of a firecracker during a housing protest at Rossio in Lisbon on 1 November, and into the conduct of a plainclothes police officer during protests in Porto. Additionally, the Public Prosecutor has suspended the cases of approximately 85 protesters arrested for disobedience in Lisbon pending a ruling from the Constitutional Court on whether legal limits on the duration of demonstrations are unconstitutional.
Why it matters
While these investigations concern specific incidents, the pause in the prosecution of protesters pending a Constitutional Court ruling may have implications for the legal rights and potential future charges for those involved in recent demonstrations.Diário de NotíciasRead original ↗
