Informational

Civil society groups plan to demonstrate for migrant rights, May 10. Attendees will gather in Place de la Republique from 15:00 and then march to Maison des Metallos. The groups will demand improved access to education and housing for communities without official documentation ("sans papiers"), and denounce the costs of the Olympic Games. It is unknown how many will take part, but it is unlikely to exceed several hundred protesters.

Local authorities will likely deploy additional police and heightened security to facilitate the demonstration. Some localized transport disruptions are possible in the vicinity of the protest. The protest will likely pass off peacefully.

Avoid the protest as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the affected area. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
