UK: Activists to demonstrate in London Nov. 30
Activists to protest at Chinese Embassy in London, UK, from 15:00 Nov. 30. Heightened security, localized transport disruptions likely.
Activists plan to protest at the Embassy of the People's Republic of China on Portland Place in London from 15:00 Nov. 30. The purpose of the demonstration is to demand the release of 45 activists recently given prison sentences in Hong Kong. It was not immediately clear how many participants may attend.
Law enforcement officers will likely deploy in the area to facilitate the demonstration. Movement by protesters or road closures by law enforcement officers will likely disrupt travel in the area. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers or opposed individuals cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the protest site. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
