Activists to protest at French Embassy in Athens, Greece, from 18:30 April 5 to demand prisoner's release. Increased security likely.
Activists plan to protest at the French Embassy on Leof. Vasilissis Sofias in Athens from 18:30 April 5. The purpose of the demonstration is to demand the release of prisoner Georges Abdallah. The number of people who may participate in the demonstration remains unclear.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the demonstration as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the protest site. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
Georges Abdallah is a Lebanese militant and political activist who has been imprisoned in France since 1984. In 1987, Abdallah was sentenced to life in prison in connection with the murders of an American military attache and an Israeli diplomat.
