Peru: Protesters plan to gather in Lima Dec. 4
Protesters plan to gather for a march in central Lima from 15:00 on Dec. 4. Localized disruptions likely.
Workers from the barber industry plan to march in central Lima on Dec. 4. Participants will gather at the Civic Center (Centro Civico) from 15:00 before marching to Plaza San Martin. The purpose of the gathering is to denounce extortion and violence reportedly affecting barber establishments and demand that authorities take measures against organized crime.
Heightened security and localized traffic disruptions will likely affect the vicinity of the march route. Skirmishes between protesters and police cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest as a precaution. Consider taking alternative routes to circumvent the vicinity of the march and any related disruptions. Adhere to all instructions issued by local officials.
