Greece: Activists to demonstrate in Thessaloniki Aug. 27
Activists to protest at Dimitriou Gounari and Alexandrou Svolou in Thessaloniki, Greece, from 19:00 Aug. 27. Heightened security likely.
Activists plan to protest at the intersection of Dimitriou Gounari and Alexandrou Svolou in Thessaloniki from 19:00 Aug. 29. The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce alleged mistreatment of migrants by Greek border authorities following an Aug. 23. incident in which a migrant was allegedly shot. 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 law enforcement officers or politically opposed individuals 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 that any security disturbance may occur.
