Taiwan: Children's rights activists to stage demonstration in Taipei, April 4
Children's rights activists to protest near Liberty Square in Taipei, Taiwan, 14:00-16:00 April 4. Increased security likely.
Children's rights activists plan to stage a demonstration near Liberty Square in Taipei, 14:00-16:00 April 4. The action is to protest child abuse and demand legal reform, following the death of a one-year-old child in foster care. Hundreds of participants could join the event.
A heightened security presence is likely around the protest site. Localized transport disruptions are possible, especially if activists occupy or march along nearby roads. Isolated clashes are possible if police attempt to disperse the gathering forcibly.
Exercise caution around the protest site. In the event of violence, leave the area immediately for a secure, nongovernment building. Allow additional time for travel to nearby destinations, use alternative routes to circumvent rally sites. Heed all local security and traffic advisories.
