Hundreds march in Lisbon in protest over police raid in 'migrant neighborhood'

Hundreds marched in Lisbon on Saturday to protest against a police crackdown in the capital's Martim Moniz district which is home to many migrants.

Footage shows demonstrators marching with Portuguese flags and large banners while chanting slogans.

The demonstration dubbed 'Don't push us against the wall' comes weeks after Portuguese police raided the Martim Moniz area and detained several people.

Photos of the 'special crime prevention operation' emerged on social media showing dozens of people lined up against the wall with their hands up, prompting outrage over whether such measures were justified.
