Austria: Activists demonstrating in Vienna Aug. 9
Activists protesting at Stephansplatz in Vienna, Austria, until 18:00 Aug. 9. Heightened security, localized transport disruptions likely.
Activists are protesting at Stephansplatz in Vienna 15:00-18:00 Aug. 9. The purpose of the demonstration is to support international neutrality and to observe the anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. It was not immediately clear how many participants may be in attendance.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Though unlikely, low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers or opposed individuals cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near Stephansplatz. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
