Cyprus: Unionized educators to strike, demonstrate in Nicosia March 21
Unionized educators to strike, protest at Ministry of Education in Nicosia, Cyprus, from 11:00 March 21. Heightened security likely.
Unionized educators plan to protest at the Ministry of Education, Sport and Youth on Kimono Street in Nicosia from 11:00 March 21. The demonstration coincides with a 24-hour strike by Cypriot education support staff. The purpose of the action is to demand guarantees of continued employment for special program staff. It is unclear how many participants may attend.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Though unlikely, low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the Ministry of Education, Sport and Youth. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
