Mexico: Activists protesting in solidarity with Palestinian people in downtown Mexico City Jan. 13

Pro-Palestinian activists are protesting in support of Palestinian people in downtown Mexico City as of the afternoon of Jan. 13. Participants reportedly gathered at two separate locations, the Angel of Independence monument and the United States Embassy located at Paseo de la Reforma since 15:00. Reports suggest that participants may march along one of two routes. One route is Avenida de Reforma and Avenida Juarez, and the other is Central Axis Lazaro Cardenas and 5th Avenue, and march to El Zocalo for a rally.

Although the action will probably remain largely peaceful, authorities will likely maintain an increased security presence near the protest as a precaution. Transport and business disruptions are likely along the march route for the duration of the demonstration.
