France: Activists to demonstrate in Strasbourg Jan. 4
Activists to protest at Council of Europe in Strasbourg, France, from 11:00 Jan. 4. Heightened security, transport disruptions likely.
Activists plan to stage a protest at the Council of Europe on Avenue de l'Europe in Strasbourg from 11:00 Jan. 4. The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce alleged violence against minority communities in Syria. The number of people who would participate in the protest was not immediately clear.
Law enforcement officers will likely deploy nearby to facilitate the gathering. The presence of demonstrators and police will probably disrupt vehicular transport in the area. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the demonstration as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the protest site. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
