Belgium: Anti-fascist activist to demonstrate in Liege, Oct. 11
Anti-fascist demonstration planned in Liege, Belgium, 15:00 Oct. 11. Increased security, localized disruptions likely.
Several anti-fascist groups plan to demonstrate in Liege's Place des Arts at 15:00 Oct. 11. Organizers have styled the demonstration a parade, but have not announced a route. The event will focus on raising awareness of the dangers of sexist, homophobic, and xenophobic discourse ahead of the local elections on Oct. 13. The number of attendees remains unclear; however, precedent suggests several hundred activists will participate.
Authorities will likely deploy additional police to monitor and facilitate the gathering. Localized transport and business disruptions are likely.
Avoid the announced protest location as a precaution. Heed the instructions of local authorities. Allow extra time to reach destinations in the area on the afternoon of Oct. 11.
