Dominican Republic: Activists plan to gather in Santo Domingo March 23

Activists plan to stage a demonstration in Santo Domingo from 15:00 on March 23. Participants will gather at Puerta del Conde at Parque Independencia to oppose a humanitarian corridor between the Dominican Republic and Haiti.

Authorities will likely deploy an increased security presence near the demonstration as a precaution. Localized traffic disruptions are possible. Although the demonstration should remain largely peaceful, skirmishes between protesters and police cannot be ruled out.
