UK: LGBTQ activists to demonstrate in central Oxford April 19

Event

LGBTQ activists plan to demonstrate in Oxford April 19 to denounce a government ban on conversion therapy which excludes transgender people. Activists will gather at Bonn Square from 18:00; attendance will likely be several dozen to the low hundreds.

Additional police will deploy to monitor the action. Large crowds and associated security measures could prompt localized transport disruptions in the surrounding area. The action is likely to pass peacefully.

Advice

Avoid the demonstration as a routine security precaution and to mitigate the impact of disruptions. Heed instructions from security services. Allow extra time for travel in the affected area on the evening of April 19.
