Sitting on the ground in silence: 200 people protest against police violence at housing demonstrations

Around 200 people, including families, held a silent vigil in Lisbon's Praça dos Restauradores on Saturday 7 November to protest against police actions during recent housing demonstrations in Lisbon and Porto. The group, Mães pela Acampada, is calling for the right to peaceful protest following police intervention to remove encampments and subsequent injuries, and is also reiterating housing demands including rent caps and restrictions on real estate funds.
