Germany: Abortion rights activists to protest in at least 50 cities nationwide Sept. 28
Abortion rights activists to demonstrate across Germany Sept. 28. Heightened security, localized transport disruptions likely.
Event
Abortion rights activists plan to protest across Germany on Sept. 28 in observance of Safe Abortion Day. Organizers plan to hold demonstrations in at least 50 cities. Notable locations include:
Berlin: March from Charite Berlin to Leopoldplatz, starting at 17:30
Frankfurt: Willy-Brandt-Platz beginning 18:00
Hamburg: Herbert-und-Greta-Wehner-Platz at 17:00
Cologne: Wiener Platz from 18:00
Stuttgart: Marienplatz beginning at 17:30
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near all demonstration sites. Though unlikely, low-level confrontations between demonstrators and police, counter-demonstrators, or frustrated motorists cannot be ruled out.
Advice
Avoid demonstration sites as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near a protest location. Strictly heed all instructions from authorities.
