Poland: Activists staging demonstration in Warsaw Dec. 1
Activists opposed to education reforms protesting at Castle Square in Warsaw, Poland, Dec. 1. Heightened security likely.
Activists are staging a protest at Castle Square in Warsaw's Old Town Dec. 1. The purpose of the demonstration is to oppose proposed educational reforms. The amount of participants remain unclear.
Police may deploy in the area to monitor the protest. Movement by demonstrators or road closures by police may disrupt travel near the demonstration area. Although the event will probably remain largely peaceful, low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time to reach destinations near the protest site. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance may.
