Denmark: Activist group Men in Black to protest in Hulgards Plads, Copenhagen, during the evening of Feb. 27
Activists to protest in Copenhagen, Denmark, Feb. 27 to denounce COVID-19 restrictions. Disruptions likely, violence possible.
Event
The activist group Men in Black plans to demonstrate in Copenhagen Feb. 27 to denounce ongoing COVID-19 restrictions. Participants will gather at 1900 on Hulgards Plads; organizers expect around 1,000 people to attend.
Police will almost certainly deploy to monitor the protest; associated security measures could prompt localized disruptions. Low-level violence is possible; related demonstrations have previously devolved into clashes with police. While bystanders are unlikely to be targeted, any violence would pose an incidental risk.
Advice
Avoid the demonstration as a routine security precaution and to mitigate associated disruptions. Heed instructions from security services and leave the area at the first sign of a confrontation. Allow extra time to reach destinations in the vicinity of the announced protest location during the evening of Feb. 27.
