Germany: Activists to march and protest in central Berlin Nov. 17

Political activists plan to hold a protest march through central Berlin from 13:00 Nov. 17. The event, organized by Russian opposition activists Yulia Navalnaya, Ilya Yashin, and Vladimir Kara-Murza, aims to promote peace for Ukraine and to denounce Russia's ongoing military operations. Participants will gather at Henriette-Herz-Park from 13:00, where the march will start at 14:00 and conclude at Unten-den-Linden Street, by the Russian embassy. Several thousand people are likely to participate.

Authorities will likely deploy increased security to monitor the event. Road travel and transport disruptions are likely near the gathering sites and march route through the afternoon of Nov. 17.
