Peru: Activists plan to protest in Lima Dec. 14
Activists plan to gather at Plaza San Martin in Lima, Peru, from 17:00 Dec. 2. Disruptions likely.
Activists, including political figures, plan to stage an anti-government protest in central Lima Dec. 14. Participants will gather at Plaza San Martin from 17:00 and could also march along main roads in the Cercado de Lima area. The action is to demand, among other things, the resignation of several government officials, and to protest decisions made by the Congress. The amount of participants the event may draw remains unclear; however, the gathering is likely to be well-attended.
Heightened security and associated business and transport disruptions are likely near the affected area. Clashes between protesters and police are possible.
Avoid all protests as a precaution. If violence occurs, immediately leave the area and seek shelter in a secure, nongovernmental building. Do not attempt to navigate around roadblocks; wait for the police to dismantle them or take alternative routes. Reconfirm all transport reservations. Heed instructions from authorities.
