Brazil: Activists plan demonstration in Sao Paulo on June 9
Pro-Palestinian activists plan to demonstrate in central Sao Paulo, Brazil, from 11:00 on June 9. Localized disruptions likely.
Activists affiliated with several organizations, including the Landless Workers Movement (Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra, MST), plan to demonstrate in Sao Paulo on June 9 in solidarity with the ongoing developments in the Middle East. Participants will gather from 11:00 at Praca Estado da Palestina, near Paraiso Metro Station.
Localized transport and business disruptions are likely in the area. Authorities will likely deploy an increased police presence to monitor gatherings. The demonstration will likely pass peacefully; however, skirmishes and counterprotests cannot be ruled out.
Exercise heightened vigilance near demonstrations. Allow additional time for journeys in affected areas. Heed all official directives. Leave the area at the first sign of a security disturbance.
