Lithuania: Activists to demonstrate in Vilnius July 18
Activists to protest at Seimas in Vilnius, Lithuania, 09:30-20:30 July 18. Localized heightened security likely.
Activists plan to conduct an all-day protest at the Seimas (Parliament) in Vilnius 09:30-20:30 July 18. The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce consideration of a law legalizing same-sex partnerships. It was not immediately clear how many participants may attend.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Though unlikely, low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the Seimas. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
