Taiwan: Activists plan to hold protest march in Taipei to commemorate Tibetan Uprising Day March 5
Activists plan to march in Taipei, Taiwan, to commemorate Tibetan Uprising Day from 13:00 March 5. Localized disruptions possible.
Event
Activists plan to stage a protest march in Taipei March 5 to commemorate Tibetan Uprising Day, which falls on March 10. Participants will gather at Zhongxiao Fuxing Station from 13:00 before marching towards Songshou Square Park. Hundreds of people attended related gatherings in Taipei previously, and similar numbers may take part in the upcoming action.
Authorities will likely heighten security at Zhongxiao Fuxing Station, Songshou Square Park, and along the march route. The action will probably prompt localized transport disruptions, especially on nearby roads like Zhongxiao East, Ren'ai, and Songzhi roads. The demonstration will probably pass peacefully, though minor scuffles between police and protesters remain possible.
Advice
Avoid the action sites as a precaution. Plan for ground transport disruptions in the affected area. Seek updated information on roads in the area and allow additional time to reach nearby destinations. If violence erupts nearby, immediately depart the area. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
