Italy: Climate activists to protest in urban centers nationwide Oct. 11

Climate activists plan to protest in urban centers nationwide Oct. 11. The Fridays for Future campaign group will stage events across Italy to demand increased measures to tackle climate change, and to show solidarity with Palestinian civilians. The demonstrations are likely to take place outside schools and colleges, in public squares, and in front of government buildings. It is likely that several hundred to low thousands may participate in the larger rallies.

Authorities will likely deploy increased security to monitor the gatherings. Transport disruptions are probable near the protest sites. The events will likely pass off peacefully.
