Activists protesting in vicinity of Parliament House in Canberra, Australia, Nov. 28. Increased security, transport disruptions likely.
Activists are rallying in the vicinity of the Parliament House in Canberra Nov. 28. The purpose of the demonstration is to call for the removal of the attorney general's veto power that protesters claim prevents the prosecution of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity in Australian courts. The protest is slated to run until at least 15:00. The number of people participating in the demonstration was not immediately clear.
Authorities will likely monitor the gathering as a precaution and could close local roads to facilitate the protest. Associated localized transport disruptions are likely. Minor scuffles between activists and police cannot be ruled out.
As a precaution, avoid the demonstration. Allow additional travel time near the gathering site. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Heed all official security and transport advisories.
