Latvia: Activists to demonstrate in central Riga Nov. 19
Activists to protest at Congress House Square, Riga, Latvia, from 17:30 Nov. 19. Heightened security likely.
Activists plan to protest at Congress House Square in central Riga from 17:30 Nov. 19. The purpose of the demonstration is to condemn Russian involvement in the war in Ukraine. It remains unclear how many participants may attend.
Police will likely deploy near the demonstration site to facilitate the protest. Movements by demonstrators or police road closures may disrupt travel in the protest area. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers or among activists from rival political camps cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time to reach destinations near the protest site. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance.
