Italy: Pro-Palestinian activists to demonstrate in central Turin starting at 15:00 Oct. 14
Pro-Palestinian activists to rally at Piazza Francesco Crispi in central Turin, Italy, Oct. 14. Increased security likely; clashes possible.
Event
Pro-Palestinian activists plan to rally in central Turin on Oct. 14. Demonstrators will assemble at Piazza Francesco Crispi beginning at 15:00. The purpose of the gathering is to condemn the government of Israel and express solidarity with the Palestinian people. It remains unclear how many participants the event may draw.
Authorities will almost certainly deploy increased security in the vicinity of Piazza Francesco Crispi for the duration of the demonstration. Security-related transport disruptions are possible. Although the gathering will probably remain largely peaceful, low-level clashes cannot be ruled out if activists from rival groups attempt to stage counter-protests nearby.
Advice
Avoid the area of Piazza Francesco Crispi during the afternoon of Oct. 14 as a precaution. Heed the instructions of local security personnel. Allow extra time to reach destinations near the demonstration venue; leave the area at the first sign of any security disturbance.
