Switzerland: Eritrean activists demonstrating in Munsterplatz, Bern, Sept. 10
Eritrean activists demonstrating in Bern, Switzerland, Sept. 10. Increased security, localized disruptions likely. Clashes possible.
Members of the Eritrean diaspora are demonstrating in Munsterplatz, as of the afternoon of Sept. 10. The demonstration has been organized to demand protections for Eritrean celebrations in Switzerland.
Other members of the Eritrean diaspora may deem the demonstration to be in support of the regime in Eritrea; accordingly, counterdemonstrations are possible. Authorities have likely deployed additional security personnel to monitor the gathering; localized road and public transportation disruptions are likely near the protest location. Clashes between rival groups of demonstrators are possible.
Avoid the demonstration as a standard precaution. Heed the advice of security personnel. Allow additional time if traveling through the affected area Sept. 10.
