Activists to protest at Hauptplatz in Linz, Austria, from 17:00 Sept. 22. Heightened security, localized transport disruptions likely.
Activists plan to rally at Hauptplatz in Linz from 17:00 Sept. 22. The purpose of the gathering is to denounce what organizers expect to be a rightward shift in Austrian politics after upcoming legislative elections. It was not immediately clear how many participants may attend.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near teh protest site. Though unlikely, low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers or ideologically opposed individuals cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the rally site. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
