France: Health professionals demonstrating in Marseille's 15th Arrondissement Aug. 22
Protest taking place on Avenue de la Viste in Marseille, France, as of early evening Aug. 22. Heightened security likely.
A group of activists, including members of the National Order of Physicians, is protesting at 82 Avenue de la Viste in Marseille as of early evening Aug. 22. The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce violence against medical practitioners. It remains unclear how many participants the gathering may draw.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Though unlikely, low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
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 of any security disturbance.
