Chile: Protesters to gather in several urban centers on March 23-24
Protesters to gather in several urban centers, including Santiago, Chile, on March 24. Localized disruptions likely.
Activists plan to stage several pro-Palestine demonstrations in Chile on March 23-24. The main gathering is likely to take place in Santiago, where protesters will gather from 11:00 on March 23 outside the Gabriela Mistral Cultural Centre and march along Avenida Libertador General Bernardo O'Higgins, also known as La Alameda.
Additionally, participants will gather at the following times and locations:
Iquique: Caravan starting from Universidad Arturo Prat from 18:00 on March 23
Valparaiso: Protest at Plaza Sotomayor from 11:00 on March 23
Puerto Montt: Protest at Plaza de Armas from 11:00 on March 23
La Serena: Caravan starting from Faro Monumental La Serena from 11:30 on March 24
The protests will likely prompt localized traffic delays, especially in central Santiago. Heightened security is likely near protest sites. The gatherings will likely remain peaceful, but clashes cannot be ruled out, especially if security forces attempt to disperse demonstrators.
Avoid the protest. Plan for localized traffic disruptions in central Santiago and other protest locations. Leave the area immediately at the first sign of any security disturbance and seek shelter in the nearest secure location. Heed instructions from authorities.
