Germany: Activists to demonstrate in Dusseldorf Nov. 15
Activists to march from Marktplatz in Dusseldorf, Germany from 17:00 Nov. 15. Heightened security, transport disruptions likely.
Activists affiliated with the Fridays for Future protest movement plan to march in central Dusseldorf from 17:00 on Nov. 15. The purpose of the demonstration is to demand action to combat climate change. Participants will gather at Marktplatz before marching through the city center; organizers did not disclose a planned march route. It was not immediately clear how many participants may attend.
Police will likely deploy in central Dusseldorf to facilitate the demonstration. The procession will likely disrupt vehicular traffic in surrounding areas. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers, frustrated motorists, or opposed individuals cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling in central Dusseldorf. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
