Greece: Activists to demonstrate in Heraklion March 12
Pension activists to protest at Freedom Square in Heraklion, Greece, from 11:00 March 12. Heightened security likely.
Pension activists plan to protest at Freedom Square (Plateia Eleftherias) in Heraklion from 11:00 March 12. The purpose of the demonstration is to demand larger pension increases. It is unknown 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 demonstration area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near Freedom Square. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
