Switzerland: Activists to demonstrate in Lausanne, July 27
Kurdish activists to hold protest march near Place des Pionnieres in Lausanne, Switzerland, from 13:00 July 27.
Kurdish activists plan to hold a protest at Place des Pionnieres in Lausanne from 13:00 July 27. The demonstration will demand Kurdistan's independence and mark the 101st anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Lausanne. It was not immediately clear how many participants may attend or what route the march may take.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the demonstration. Though unlikely, low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers, frustrated motorists, or opposed individuals cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the gathering as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near Place des Pionnieres. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
