France: Activists to demonstrate in Paris Aug. 24
Activists to march from Couronnes Station to Church of Saint-Bernard in Paris, France, from 15:00 Aug. 24. Heightened security likely.
Immigration activists plan to conduct a protest march in central Paris from 15:00 on Aug. 24. The demonstration commemorates the expulsion of undocumented migrants from a church in 1996. Participants will gather at Couronnes Station before marching to the Church of Saint-Bernard. It was not immediately clear how many participants planned to attend or what march route organizers planned to take.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the march 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 or between Couronnes Station and the Church of Saint-Bernard. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
