Greece: Activists plan to stage protest march in Athens March 16
Activists plan to hold protest March from Kotzia Square to Parliament in Athens, Greece, from 14:00 March 16. Heightened security likely.
Activists plan to hold a protest march in central Greece on March 16. The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce racism and fascism. Activists will gather at Kotzia Square from 14:00 before marching to Parliament; organizers did not indicate what route the march would take. It is unclear how many participants may attend.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely along the march route. Though unlikely, confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers or frustrated motorists cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the demonstration area. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
