Eleven racist skinheads have been jailed for between 14 and 18 years for beating a young black man to death in a racist attack in Lisbon in June 1995 (see Statewatch, vol 5 no 3). The eleven were part of a gang of fifty skins who rampaged through the Barrio Alto attacking black people with iron bars and baseball bats. At least twelve people were injured and Alcindo Montiero, a naturalised Portuguese citizen from Angola, died of injuries to his head and spine. At the time the police were criticised for taking two hours to respond to the attack.
