UK: Activists to demonstrate in London June 15
Anti-monarch activists to protest on The Mall in London, UK, 09:00-12:00 June 15. Heightened security, transport disruptions likely.
Activists affiliated with the Republic anti-monarchy movement plan to protest at The Mall in London from 09:00-12:00 June 15. The demonstration is meant to coincide with King Charles' birthday celebration. Organizers allege that after receiving initial approval from authorities, they are now being asked to move their protest to another location, but have refused. It was not immediately clear how many participants may attend.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the demonstration site. Confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers are possible, particularly if police attempt to bar protesters from the planned demonstration location.
Avoid the protest area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the protest site June 15. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
