Puerto Rico: Demonstrators slated to gather in San Juan Sept. 28 in support of Venezuelan opposition
Activists slated to gather at Plaza de Armas, San Juan, Puerto Rico, 13:30 Sept. 28 in support of Venezuelan opposition; disruptions likely.
Activists have announced plans to gather for a protest at Plaza de Armas in San Juan Sept. 28. The purpose of the demonstration, which was slated to begin at 13:30, is to demand the recognition of Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia as the winner of Venezuela's July 28 presidential elections and reverse electoral authorities' proclamation of incumbent President Nicolas Maduro as the winner amid allegations of election fraud. Demonstration organizers did not immediately provide an estimate as to how many people would participate in the protest.
Heightened security and transport disruptions will likely affect the vicinity of the demonstration. Clashes between protesters and police cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the demonstration as a precaution. Consider taking alternative routes to circumvent the vicinity of the protest and any related disruptions. Adhere to all instructions issued by local authorities.
