UK: Activists to demonstrate in Belfast on Dec. 12
Activists to protest at main gate of Stormont Estate in Belfast, UK, from 17:00 Dec. 12. Heightened security likely.
Activists plan to protest at the main gate of the Stormont Estate at the intersection of Upper Newtownards Road and Prince of Wales Avenue in Belfast from 17:00 on Dec. 12. The demonstration will denounce the government ban on treating minors with puberty blockers. It was not immediately clear how many participants may attend.
Police will likely deploy nearby to facilitate the demonstration. The presence of protesters and police will likely disrupt vehicular 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.
