Italy: Activists demonstrating in central Naples as of the evening of April 8
Activists protesting near San Carlo Theater in Naples, Italy, as of the evening of April 8. Clashes previously reported.
Several dozen activists are protesting near the San Carlo Theater (Teatro di San Carlo) on Via San Carlo in Naples as of the evening of April 8. The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce a concert commemorating the 75th anniversary of the founding of NATO. Demonstrators reportedly clashed with police while attempting to break through a security line and enter the theater; law enforcement officers have taped off the area in an attempt to prevent protesters from similar actions.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely to continue through the night. Further clashes cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the affected area. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
