Cyprus: Unionized activists to demonstrate in North Nicosia Jan. 10
Unionized workers to protest at Ministry of Labor in North Nicosia, Cyprus, from 09:00 Jan. 10. Heightened security likely.
Unionized workers affiliated with the Federation of Free Trade Unions (Hur-Is) plan to protest at the Ministry of Labor and Social Security (80 Ataturk Street) from 09:00 Jan. 10. The purpose of the demonstration is to call on the government to raise the minimum wage. It is unclear how many participants may attend.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the Ministry of Labor and Social Security. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
