LGBTQ activists to protest in front of Te Papa Museum in Wellington, New Zealand, 11:30-13:30 May 18. Increased security likely.
LGBTQ activists plan to demonstrate in front of Te Papa Museum in Wellington 11:30-13:30 May 18. The purpose of the action is to protest an event scheduled 12:00-16:00 at the nearby Takina Wellington Convention & Exhibition Center which they allege is transphobic. The rally will likely attract a few hundred participants.
Police will likely deploy additional personnel to monitor the events. Localized traffic disruptions are possible, especially if activists occupy or march along nearby roads. Clashes between protestors, attendees of the event, and authorities may occur.
Avoid the protest due to possible clashes. If violence occurs nearby, immediately depart the area and seek shelter at a safe nongovernmental building. Plan for potential localized transport disruptions in the vicinity. Heed all official security and transport advisories
