UK: Anti-racism groups to protest in Cardiff March 17
Anti-racism groups to protest in central Cardiff, UK, March 17. Heightened security presence and localized disruptions likely.
Anti-racism groups are to gather near the Welsh Senedd (legislature) in central Cardiff March 17. The protest is to begin at 11:00 before the beginning of a march towards Grange Gardens, where speeches and musical events will take place. The action is to denounce alleged racist rhetoric regarding the conflict in the Middle East and immigration topics in UK politics. Participation is likely to be in the hundreds.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the demonstration site. Though previous related demonstrations remained largely peaceful, confrontations between protesters and law enforcement officers, or among groups of rival activists cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the rally area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near demonstration area through March 17. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance.
