Greece: Activists to demonstrate in Athens, Drama, and Thessaloniki Jan. 21
Activists to protest in central Athens, Drama, and Thessaloniki, Greece Jan. 21. Heightened security, transport disruptions likely.
Activists plan to protest in Athens, Drama, and Thessaloniki Jan. 21 to denounce government consideration of the legalization of same-sex marriage. It is unclear how many participants may attend the gatherings. Demonstrations are planned at the following locations and times:
Athens: Syntagma Square, 18:00
Drama: Freedom Square (Plateia Eleftherias), 12:30
Thessaloniki: White Tower of Thessaloniki (Lefkos Pyrgos Thessalonikis), 12:00
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near all demonstrations. Low-level confrontations between protesters and law enforcement officers or supporters of rival political camps cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the 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 of any security disturbance.
