The family of Odair Moniz, killed by a PSP (Portuguese riot police) officer's gunshot, has appealed the suspended sentence given to the officer. They are demanding the officer be sentenced to imprisonment, not merely a suspended term. The appeal also requests the officer’s suspension from duties within the PSP. Furthermore, the family seeks increased financial compensation for their loss. This action follows dissatisfaction with the initial sentencing decision, which they deem insufficient given the circumstances of Moniz’s death. The family believes a more severe punishment and removal from the police force are necessary to reflect the gravity of the situation and secure justice for Odair. This case continues to draw attention to issues of police accountability in Portugal.
