Portugal Police Want Britons Deported Twelve Britons, a Russian and a Portuguese appeared in court yesterday accused of causing a public disturbance after rioters clashed with police in this resort town. The foreigners faced being immediately deported after the GNR paramilitary police who detained them requested they be sent home. Thousands of English soccer fans are in Portugal for the Euro 2004 tournament. A single judge sitting at the summary proceedings asked each defendant, whose ages ranged from 20 to 46, if they were willing to be deported voluntarily. He gave them the option of remaining for the outcome of a trial. Several said they did not want to be handed over for deportation but to hear the outcome of the proceedings. The judge heard each defendant's account of events during the night of Monday/Tuesday when glasses, bottles and chairs were thrown at police and riot police charged the crowd. The first five defendants denied any wrongdoing. Police detained 34 people, 33 of them English, early on Wednesday in Albufeira, about 200 km (120 miles) south of Lisbon, after a second night of rioting.
