Greece: Anti-war activists to demonstrate in central Athens on March 11
Communist Party plans anti-war demonstration in Syntagma Square, Athens, Greece, from 19:30 March 11. Heightened security, disruptions
The Communist Party plans to hold an anti-war demonstration in Syntagma Square, Athens, from 19:30 March 11. Attendees will denounce Greece's participation in the US-led military coalition in the Red Sea. Several hundred people will likely take part, based on previous Communist Party events. Militant activists may take part, increasing the likelihood of vandalism and violence targeting the police.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest 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 of any security disturbance.
