Poland: Activists to hold protest march in Warsaw May 16
Activists to march from Chopin Monument to Ministry of Justice in Warsaw, Poland, 11:00-15:00 May 16. Heightened security likely.
Activists plan to march in central Warsaw on May 16 to denounce Polish courts' approach to child custody matters. It is unclear how many participants will attend. The demonstration scheduled as follows:
11:00-12:00: Gathering at Chopin Monument on Aleja Ujazdowskie.
12:00-12:30: Protest at Chancellery of the Prime Minister on Aleja Ujazdowskie.
12:30-13:30: March to the Ministry of Justice on Aleja Ujazdowskie.
13:30-15:00: Protest at the Ministry of Justice.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely along the march route. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers or frustrated motorists cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the march route in the late morning or afternoon May 16. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
