Denmark: Men in Black activists to march through central Aalborg May 8
Activists to stage protest march in Aalborg, Denmark, May 8 to denounce COVID-19 restrictions; localized disruptions likely.
Event
The Men in Black activist group plans to demonstrate in central Aalborg May 8 to denounce ongoing COVID-19 restrictions. Participants will gather at 19:00 at Kildeparken and march through the city center before returning to the start point. Participation could reach the hundreds.
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 central Aalborg during the evening of May 8.
