Germany: Activists to demonstrate in Leipzig May 22
Activists plan to protest at Naschmarkt in Leipzig, Germany, from 17:00 May 22. Heightened security, transport disruptions likely.
Activists plan to protest at the Naschmarkt in Leipzig from 17:00 May 22. Participants will gather near a panel discussion featuring Alternativ fur Deutschland (AfD) party member Maximilian Krah to denounce his participation in the event and the AfD party as a whole. It is unclear how many participants may attend.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Though unlikely, low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers or politically opposed passersby cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the protest site. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
