UK: Animal rights activists to protest outside Turkish Embassy in London Sept. 1
Animal rights protest planned outside Turkish Embassy in London, UK, 15:00 Sept. 1. Increased security, localized disruptions likely.
Animal rights activists will protest outside the Turkish Embassy in London at 15:00 on Sept. 1. Organizers are denouncing a bill proposed in Turkiye that would allow authorities to euthanize stray animals in Turkiye's urban centers. Participants will likely gather for several hours outside the embassy on Belgrave Square. While exact attendance figures are unclear, the protest could attract a large crowd.
Authorities will almost certainly deploy additional police to monitor the protest. Security measures and large crowds will likely prompt localized transport disruptions near the protest site. Widespread violence is not anticipated.
Avoid the protest area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near Belgrave Square on the afternoon of Sept. 1.
