Event
Abortion rights activists will hold demonstrations in France, Germany, and the UK July 1-3 to denounce the US Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v Wade, the 1973 decision establishing the right to abortion in the US. Details of the gatherings are as follows:

Related rallies may take place in other urban centers in these countries. While demonstrations will likely vary in size, heightened security and localized transport disruptions are possible near any action that materializes. Counter-protests are also possible; clashes between opposing groups, or between protesters and police cannot be ruled out.
Advice
Avoid all demonstrations as a standard security precaution. Allow additional time to reach destinations near announced rally sites. If violence occurs, immediately leave the area and seek shelter in a non-government building. Heed the instructions of local authorities.
