France: Activists to demonstrate nationwide, Oct. 24
Activists to protest in urban centers across France Oct. 24. Localized heightened security, transport disruptions likely.
Activists plan to protest in urban centers nationwide on Oct. 24. The purpose of the demonstrations is to demand the release of Georges Abdallah, the longest-incarcerated prisoner in Europe. Demonstrations are planned at government buildings nationwide, including:
Bordeaux: Place Pey Berland from 18:30.
Marseille: Prefecture des Bouches-du-Rhone from 18:30.
Paris: Place du Chatelet from 19:00.
Rennes: Place de la Mairie from 18:00.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near all protest sites. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid all protest areas as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near any demonstration sites. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
