Mexico: Activists plan to march in downtown Mexico City 14:30 April 17
Activists to march in central Mexico City, Mexico, from 14:30 April 17; heightened security and localized transport disruptions likely.
Around 1,000 activists plan to march in downtown Mexico City on the afternoon of April 17 to commemorate the International Day for Political Prisoners. Participants will gather at the Angel de la Independencia starting at 14:00 before marching to the Ministry of the Interior at 14:30.
Although the action should remain largely peaceful, authorities will likely deploy an increased police presence near the demonstration as a precaution. Localized transport and business disruptions are likely along the march route.
Avoid the march as a precaution. Allow additional time to reach destinations if operating near the impacted area. Seek alternative routes to circumvent any related transport disruptions. Heed the instructions of security personnel.
