UK: Activists to demonstrate in London in solidarity with Roma community Nov. 30
Demonstration in support of Roma community planned at Parliament Square in London, UK, 13:00 Nov. 30. Tight security, disruptions likely.
Activists plan to demonstrate at Parliament Square in London at 13:00 on Nov. 30 in solidarity with the Roma community. The demonstration has been organized via social media after video footage emerged allegedly showing police brutality against a group of Roma in Manchester. Precedent suggests several hundred people will attend the gathering.
Authorities will likely deploy additional police to monitor the gathering. Related security measures could prompt localized disruptions, but violence is not anticipated.
Avoid the demonstration as a standard precaution. Allow extra time for travel in the area. Obey all instructions from the security forces and treat officers with courtesy.
