UK: Political activists to march in Glasgow May 4

Political activists plan a protest march in Glasgow from 11:30 May 4. Participants will demand Scottish independence from the UK. Demonstrators will gather in Kelvingrove Park and march towards Glasgow Green, where the march will reportedly end. The march will impact the following streets in central Glasgow: Kelvinway, Gibson Street, Eildon Street, Woodlands Road, Sauchiehall Street, Pitt Street, West George Street, Blythswood Square, West George Street, Nelson Mandela Place, West George Street, George Square, George Street, High Street, and Saltmarket. Participants are likely to gather at the march starting point in the hours prior to the event and will likely rally in Glasgow Green in the hours after the march. Pro-Palestinian activists will also likely join the march. Attendance is estimated in the low thousands, based on previous events.

Authorities will likely deploy increased security to monitor the event. Transport and road travel disruptions are likely near the march route through May 4. Although violence is unlikely, low-level confrontations are possible between law enforcement officers and participants.
