Portugal: Police force concerns and human rights reports

Amnesty International has expressed deep concern regarding the use of force by Portuguese police against peaceful protesters in Lisbon and Porto, alleging excessive and disproportionate responses by authorities.

The organization also highlighted several global human rights issues, including the risk of a humanitarian catastrophe in Ukraine due to Russian attacks on energy infrastructure, and reports of Cambodian private security companies facilitating human trafficking and forced labor. Additionally, Amnesty International noted ongoing civilian suffering in Sudan and addressed the military activity at the Lajes Base in the Azores amid geopolitical tensions involving the United States and Iran.
