Protesters gathering at Syntagma Square, Athens, Greece Feb. 11. Heightened security, transport disruptions likely.

Warning

Protesters are gathering at Syntagma Square, Athens, to denounce government consideration of the legalization of same-sex marriage, Feb. 11. This is the second such event in recent weeks following a similar rally on Jan. 21, which several hundred activists attended.

Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the site. 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.
