France: Commemorative rally planned at Place de la Republique, Paris, June 10
Commemorative rally to take place in Paris, France, June 10; heightened security likely, localized transport disruptions possible.
Event
A commemorative rally will take place at Paris' Place de la Republique from 18:30 June 10 in honor of Frederic Leclerc-Imhoff, a French journalist killed in Ukraine May 30. Family, friends, and colleagues from the French channel BFMTV will lead the event.
The number of people likely to participate in the rally was not immediately made clear. However, Leclerc-Imhoff's death has been widely reported, and the commemoration may accordingly attract supportive anti-war and anti-Russia demonstrators. Police will likely implement local security measures to monitor and facilitate the event. Localized transport disruptions are possible, particularly on local Metro services and roads around Place de la Republique.
Advice
Avoid the demonstration as a routine precaution. Allow extra time for travel in the area on the evening of June 10. Follow local security and travel advice.
