Brazil: Activists plan to protest outside Theatro Municipal in Sao Paulo June 29

Event

Activists affiliated with several organizations, including the Union of Subway Workers (Sindicato dos Metroviarios), plan to protest in central Sao Paulo on June 29 to demand free public transport. Participants will gather from 17:00 outside Theatro Municipal, located opposite Praca Ramos de Azevedo.

The demonstration will likely prompt the deployment of police and lead to localized transport and business disruptions. Protesters may march to nearby locations in the center of Sao Paulo. The protest is likely to pass peacefully; however, clashes cannot be ruled out.

Advice

Avoid the demonstration as a standard security precaution. If violence breaks out, leave the area immediately and seek shelter in the nearest secure location. Allow extra time for travel in the area.
