Netherlands: Activists to demonstrate in Utrecht Dec. 14
Activists to protest at Domplein in Utrecht, Netherlands, from 13:00 Dec. 14. Heightened security, localized transport disruptions likely.
Activists affiliated with multiple groups plan to protest at Domplein in Utrecht from 13:00 Dec. 14. The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce proposed state policies that organizers consider racist, namely certain immigration and media restrictions. It was not immediately clear how many participants may attend.
Police will likely deploy near Domplein to facilitate the gathering. The presence of demonstrators and law enforcement officers will likely disrupt vehicular traffic 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.
