Social and labor activists plan rallies across Argentina March 24 to commemorate historical violence. Tight security, disruptions likely.
Social and labor activists, including members of the Association of State Workers (Asociacion Trabajadores del Estado, ATE), are planning a nationwide day of demonstrations March 24 to observe the National Day of Remembrance for Truth and Justice, which commemorates state violence in the 1970s and 1980s.
Potential gathering sites include government buildings and public squares. Thousands of activists are likely to attend related events in major cities.
Tight security and localized transit and business disruptions are likely in city centers. Clashes are possible.
Avoid demonstrations as a precaution. If clashes occur, immediately take shelter in a secure, nongovernment building. Heed the directives of authorities. Plan for localized transit and business disruptions.
