Spain: Political activists to demonstrate and march in Barcelona July 13
Activists plan march from Urquinaona Square to Saint Jaume Square, Barcelona, Spain, 17:00 July 13; increased security, disruptions likely.
Political activists led by the Catalan National Assembly (ANC) plan to protest and march through central Barcelona from 17:00 July 13. The event aims to denounce the Spanish application of the Amnesty Law and show support for Catalunya's independence. Participants will gather at Urquinaona Square, and will march towards Saint Jaume Square, where the event will end. Several thousand people might attend the rally.
Authorities will likely deploy increased security to monitor the gathering; road travel and transport disruptions are likely near the areas affected by the protest march. Minor confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be excluded.
Avoid the affected areas as a standard precaution. Allow additional time for travel near the protest march likely route. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance.
