Australia: Activists for refugee rights plan to demonstrate in Brisbane July 31
Refugee rights activists to protest outside Department of Home Affairs in Brisbane, Australia, 12:00 July 31. Increased security likely.
Refugee rights activists are planning to stage a protest outside the Department of Home Affairs in Brisbane from 12:00 on July 31. The purpose of the action is to demand the government improve living conditions for refugees living in Australia. Dozens of participants will likely join the demonstration.
Authorities will likely deploy additional security personnel to monitor the gathering. Localized transport and business disruptions are possible, especially if activists occupy or march along nearby roads. Although violence is unlikely, skirmishes between protesters and police cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the demonstration as a standard precaution. Immediately depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
