Europe: Activists plan to demonstrate in cities across Europe Jan. 21
Anti-Putin activists plan to protest in numerous cities across Europe Jan. 21. Heightened security, localized transport disruptions likely.
Activists plan to protest in cities across Europe Jan. 21 to denounce Russian President Vladimir Putin. The demonstrations are part of a campaign affiliated with jailed Russian opposition activist Alexei Navalny. Gatherings will occur in most capitals and many major urban areas. Planned protests include:
France: Parvis des Droits de l'Homme, Paris, from 14:00.
Germany: Pariser Platz, Berlin, from 14:00.
Italy: Intersection of Via dei Fori Imperiali and Via San Pietro in Carcere, Rome, from 10:00.
Spain: Puerta del Sol, Madrid, from 14:00.
UK: Intersection of Carter Lane and Peter's Hill, London, from 14:00.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near all demonstrations. Though unlikely, low-level confrontations between protesters and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid all affected areas as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near demonstration sites. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
