Poland: Opposition activists to demonstrate in Warsaw Jan. 9
Opposition activists to protest at Presidential Palace in Warsaw, Poland, from 20:00 Jan. 9. Heightened security likely.
Opposition activists plan to protest at the Presidential Palace (48/50 Przedmiescie) in Warsaw from 20:00 Jan. 9. The demonstration is part of a recent wave of protests denouncing the government's reorganization of state media outlets and their leadership. It is unclear how many participants may attend.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the demonstration site. Low-level confrontations between protesters and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the Presidential Palace. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
