Honduras: Activists to protest march in Santa Rosa de Copan from 08:00 Oct. 26
Activists to march in Santa Rosa de Copan, Honduras, from 08:00 Oct. 26; heightened security, transport and business disruptions likely.
Youth activists from the Citizen Peace Corps (Ejército Ciudadano de Paz) are set to march in Santa Rosa de Copan at 8:00 a.m. on Oct. 26. The demonstration will call for the president's resignation and protest the government's recent decision to end the extradition treaty with the U.S., among other things. Participants will gather at the El Cerrito Monument before proceeding to Parque Central.
Authorities will likely deploy a heightened security presence in Santa Rosa de Copa to monitor the demonstration. Increased security measures will also likely affect the vicinity of the conference venue. Localized transport and business disruptions will probably affect areas subject to heightened security. Skirmishes between demonstrators and security forces cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest march as a precaution. Consider taking alternative routes to circumvent the demonstration and any areas subject to heightened security. If clashes break out, immediately depart the vicinity of the unrest and seek shelter in a secure, nongovernmental building. Adhere to all instructions issued by local officials.
