Italy: Activists to demonstrate at the Albanian Embassy, Rome, on Jan. 13
Activists to demonstrate at the Albanian Embassy in Rome, Italy, on Jan. 13. Heightened security, localized disruptions likely.
Activists plan to demonstrate at the Albanian Embassy in Rome on Jan. 13. The campaign groups will denounce the detention under house arrest of the former president, and former prime minister, Sali Berisha in Tirana. Attendees will gather from 15:00 at the Embassy on Via Asmara. Organizers predict around 50 people will take part.
Local authorities will likely deploy a heightened security presence to the event, due to the location's diplomatic nature and multiple other embassies in the vicinity. The demonstration and authorities' security measures may cause localized transport disruptions.
Avoid the protest site as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling in the vicinity and immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
