Greece: Activists to demonstrate in Nea Ionia June 25

Activists plan to protest at Simirioti Square (Plateia Simirioti) in Nea Ionia, a suburb of Athens, from 19:30 June 25. The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce alleged activity, including assaults, by nationalist groups in the area in recent days. Authorities issued a ban on the gathering; however, organizers state that they plan to protest despite the police ban. It was not immediately clear how many participants may attend.

Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the planned protest site. Clashes are possible, particularly if law enforcement officers attempt to forcibly disperse demonstrators. Authorities may deploy crowd-control measures such as tear gas to break up the gathering.
