Greece: Panathinaikos fan groups to demonstrate in Athens May 19

Panathinaikos fans will demonstrate in Athens, Greece, 15:00 May 19. Increased security, localized disruptions likely.

Informational

Panathinaikos football club fan groups will demonstrate in Athens on May 19 to denounce the club's president, Giannis Alafouzos, and call on him to sell the club. Participants will gather in Pedion tou Areos (the Field of Ares) from 15:00 for a rally. Several thousand protesters may attend the event.

Police will almost certainly deploy additional personnel to monitor the gathering. Related security measures may prompt localized transport disruptions. Low-level clashes between protesters and police are possible. Any violence would pose an incidental risk to bystanders.

Avoid the protest as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling in the affected area May 19. Immediately depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement personnel.
