Political activists plan to stage a protest at Deutzer Werft, Cologne, from 11:00 Nov. 16. The demonstration aims to show support for Abdullah Ocalan, chairman of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), who has been jailed in Turkiye since 1999. Several hundred people are likely to participate.
Authorities will likely deploy increased security to monitor the gathering. Localized road travel and transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Significant violence is unlikely.
Avoid the protest as a standard precaution. Heed instruction from local authorities. Leave the area immediately at the first signs of confrontation.
