Royalists Demand Humane Prison Treatment Across Portugal
In Lisbon on December 9 moderate Republicans began a nationwide push for better treatment of political prisoners amid reports of dire conditions across Portuguese jails. Thousands of royalists accused of conspiracy face neglect, lack of trials, and severe privations, with hundreds in the Lisbon Limeira prison and grim overcrowding, cold stone flooring, and inadequate food. Conditions in the Castle of St George are said to be worse, with bare windows, rain exposure, no sanitary facilities, and similar neglect. The government defense cites parity with Republican treatment prior to the revolution, arguing that if they were good enough for Republicans they are good enough for monarchists.
