Australia: Activists to march in Sydney, New South Wales, March 26

Event

Activists will hold a protest march from Saint Mary's Cathedral toward the Parliament of New South Wales building March 26 to commemorate the International Day of the Unborn Child. While organizers have called on thousands of people to attend the march, reports indicate that participation is more likely to be in the hundreds.

Authorities will likely monitor the march, especially near the Parliament building. Clashes between activists and police, as well as between groups of rival demonstrators, cannot be ruled out. Associated localized transport disruptions may occur through the evening of March 26.

Advice

Avoid the protest march as a precaution. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Allow additional travel time in the impacted area. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
