Cyprus: Activists to demonstrate in Larnaca Dec. 14
Activists to protest at Port of Larnaca, Cyprus, from 11:00 Dec. 14. Heightened security, localized transport disruptions likely.
Activists plan to protest at the entrance to the Port of Larnaca from 11:00 Dec. 14. The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce the decision to appoint a private manager for the port and marina. It was not immediately clear how many participants may attend.
Police will likely deploy near the entrance to the Port and Marina of Larnaca to facilitate the demonstration. The presence of protesters will likely disrupt vehicular traffic near the protest site, including entry and exit from the port. Demonstration-related disruptions may disrupt freight shipment services via the Port of Larnaca. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the protest site. Reconfirm planned shipments via the Port of Larnaca scheduled for the late morning or afternoon of Dec. 14. Consider alternate means of transporting crucial shipments to avoid potential delays. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
