Greece: Activists plan protest march through Chania, Oct. 15
Political activists plan demonstration march in Chania, Greece, from 19:00 Oct. 15; increased security likely.
Political activists affiliated with several pro-Palestine organizations plan to stage a protest and march through central Chania from Agoras Square at 19:00 Oct. 15. The action will denounce the presence of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly in Chania and NATO's support to Israel in the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Several hundred people are likely to participate. The march route remains unclear; however, the event is likely to impact the city center and the immediate proximity of Agoras Square.
Authorities will likely deploy increased security to monitor the event. Localized road travel and transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Limited confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers are possible.
Avoid all protests as a standard precaution. Heed instruction from local authorities. Leave immediately the area at the first signs of confrontation.
