South Korea: Environmental activists plan to protest at Marronnier Park in Seoul from 14:00 Nov. 6
Activists to protest at Marronnier Park in Seoul, South Korea, from 14:00 Nov. 6. Increased security likely, localized disruptions possible.
Event
Activists plan to demonstrate at Marronnier Park in Daehangno District, Seoul, from 14:00 Nov. 6 as part of the Global of Action for Climate Justice movement. Participants intend to call for more action from world leaders during the ongoing international COP 26 climate talks. Participants also plan to march to Bosingak in Jongno District. Dozens to hundreds of people could participate in the gathering, though participation may be affected by ongoing COVID-19 gathering restrictions.
Security personnel will likely monitor the protest and may enforce COVID-19 restrictions if there is a large turnout. Localized transport and business disruptions may occur. While the demonstrations will probably pass peacefully, clashes between protesters and security personnel remain possible.
Advice
Avoid any protests as a precaution. Plan for possible localized transport disruptions near any protest sites the afternoon of Nov. 6. If violence erupts nearby, immediately depart the area and seek shelter at a safe non-government building. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
