Taiwan: Activists to rally at Liberty Square in Taipei from 19:00 March 10

Event

Activists plan to rally at Liberty Square in Taipei from 19:00 March 10 to commemorate Tibetan Uprising Day. Organizers may stage additional demonstrations of varying types, including marches, especially near prominent government buildings and public squares and on major thoroughfares. Previous well-attended demonstrations have attracted hundreds of participants.

Authorities will likely increase security near sites where such gatherings materialize. While the scheduled rally and any other related events will likely pass off peacefully, isolated minor scuffles between activists and police cannot be ruled out. Localized transport disruptions are likely to occur through the evening of March 10.

Advice

Avoid all demonstrations that materialize as a standard security precaution. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Allow additional time to travel near gathering sites. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
