Mexico: Activists plan to march in downtown Mexico City, Sept. 26
Activists plan to march in central Mexico City, Mexico, from 16:00 Sept. 26. Heightened security and disruptions are likely.
Event
Activists plan to march in downtown Mexico City on Sept. 26. The action will mark the ninth anniversary of the 2014 mass kidnapping of 43 students in Ayotzinapa, Guerrero State. Participants will gather at the Angel de la Independencia from 16:00 and march towards the Zocalo. The protesters, including family members of the students kidnapped, will demand justice from the authorities.
Although the action should remain largely peaceful, authorities will likely deploy an increased police presence near the demonstration as a precaution. Localized transport and business disruptions are likely along the march route.
Advice
Avoid the march as a precaution. Allow additional time to reach destinations if operating near the impacted area. Seek alternative routes to circumvent any related transport disruptions. Heed the instructions of security personnel.
