Iceland: Activists plan to gather in Reykjavik from 13:00 May 29

Event

Activists from several refugees and asylum seekers support groups plan to gather in central Reykjavik May 29 to protest the government's alleged mistreatment of several refugees amid their planned deportation. Protesters will gather at Austurvollur in front of Parliament from 13:00. Dozens to several hundred people could participate in the action.

Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely. The demonstration will probably pass peacefully.
