Sá Fernandes accuses Minister of Internal Administration of ordering PSP crackdown on Rossio encampment

Following the arrest of 27 individuals at a protest encampment in Lisbon during the early hours of Sunday, 25 October, the Public Prosecutor has offered the defendants a provisional suspension of the proceedings. This requires a 150-euro payment to a social solidarity institution. The lawyer for the group alleges that the police action was ordered directly by the government.
