France: Climate activists to protest at the Tribunal in Paris Jan. 2
Climate activists plan to protest at the Tribunal in Paris, France, from 12:30 Jan. 2. Increased security, localized disruptions likely.
Climate activists plan to protest at the Tribunal in Paris from 12:30 Jan. 2. The Extinction Rebellion (XR) group will denounce legal proceedings against some of its members, who are under trial for criminal damage during a climate protest in May 2023. It is unclear how many people will participate in the event, but attendance could reach the low hundreds.
Authorities will likely deploy additional police to monitor the protest. Heightened security and pedestrian congestion may prompt localized road transport disruptions, but the event will likely pass off peacefully.
Avoid the demonstration as a standard precaution. Consider taking alternative routes and modes of transport to mitigate the impact of any related disruptions. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
