Two Lisbon police charged with torturing migrants and sharing images

Two young police officers in Lisbon, Portugal, have been charged with very serious crimes.

They are accused of hurting homeless people and migrants, including beating up a man from Morocco inside a police station.

They also shared pictures and messages about these bad actions with other officers online.

The government and human rights groups are very upset about this and want to make sure it doesn't happen again.

They are also looking into whether other officers were involved.

The officers are still in jail while they wait for their trial.
