Activists affiliated with several nongovernmental organizations plan to stage a protest march in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on Oct. 26. The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce racism. Protest organizers have called on participants to gather at Writers' Square from 11:30 and then march to Belfast City Hall. It was not immediately clear how many people would attend the demonstration or on what route participants would march.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near and between Writers' Square and Belfast City Hall. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers, frustrated motorists, or ideologically opposed individuals cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest march as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling in the affected area. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
