France: Activists to demonstrate in Montpellier Aug. 27
Activists to protest at Place de la Comedie in Montpellier, France, from 18:00 Aug. 27. Heightened security, transport disruptions likely.
Activists plan to protest at Place de la Comedie in Montpellier from 18:00 Aug. 27. The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce antisemitism following an Aug. 24 attack on a synagogue in La Grande-Motte. It was not immediately clear how many participants may attend.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and politically opposed individuals or law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out. Tram disruptions cannot be ruled out near the protest site.
Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the protest site. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
