Poland: Activists to demonstrate in Gdansk July 31
Activists to protest at intersection of Marynarki Polskiej and Aleja Micieja Plazynskiego in Gdansk, Poland, from 14:00 July 31.
Activists plan to protest at the intersection of Marynarki Polskiej and Aleja Micieja Plazynskiego (i.e., the Letnica roundabout) in Gdansk from 14:00 July 31. The purpose of the demonstration is to demand measures to reduce the impact of coal dust on local air quality. The number of people who may participate in the demonstration was not immediately clear.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Tram disruptions are possible in the area. Though unlikely, low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers or ideologically opposed individuals cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the protest site, including by tram. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
