Detained Porto Housing Protesters Face Case Suspension Hearing

Six housing rights activists arrested during an encampment clearance in Porto's Praça D. João I on October 25 appeared before the Public Prosecutor's Office (Ministério Público). Prosecutors are considering a provisional suspension of proceedings (suspensão provisória do processo), which would halt criminal disobedience charges if the defendants accept specific conditions. If the activists decline the proposed terms, the case will proceed to trial.
