Argentina: Demonstrators to protest 20:00 Oct. 27 at National Flag Memorial in Rosario following local homicide

Event

Activists in Rosario will gather from 20:00 Oct. 27 at the National Flag Memorial (Monumento a la Bandera) to protest insecurity and crime in the city. The demonstration follows the as yet unsolved homicide of a local architect Oct. 21, reportedly during an attempted robbery. Protesters, galvanized by the homicide, are demanding an increased security presence in Rosario.

Additional police will likely deploy to monitor the demonstration. Heightened security measures will probably prompt localized transport disruptions.

Advice

Avoid all demonstrations where possible. Anticipate localized transport disruptions in the vicinity of the National Flag Memorial.
