France: Activists to demonstrate in Lyon June 25
Activists to march from Place des Jacobins to City Hall in Lyon, France, from 18:30 June 25. Heightened security likely.
Activists plan to march from Place des Jacobins to City Hall (l'Hotel de Ville) on Place de la Comedie in Lyon from 18:30. The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce an alleged sexual assault of a minor and antisemitism. It is not immediately clear how many participants may attend.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers or politically opposed passersby cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near and between Place de Jacobins and City Hall through the late evening. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
