Police operations in Lisbon and Porto remove protest tents, leaving seven injured and 31 detained
Police operations in Lisbon and Porto to remove tents from housing-rights protests resulted in seven injuries and 31 arrests for disobedience, according to PSP police. Of the injured, five were in Lisbon and two in Porto, including three police officers and four protesters; one officer was bitten by a protester's dog. The 31 detained, 25 in Lisbon and six in Porto, will appear before judicial authorities on Monday. Police seized 171 camping structures, plus a firecracker, paint cans, and pepper spray in Porto. The operation aimed to restore legality in public spaces after prolonged protests and unauthorized encampments, though police noted Saturday's demonstrations elsewhere proceeded normally.
