Activists to protest at Courthouse of Thessaloniki, Greece, from 10:00 Jan. 8. Heightened security, localized transport disruptions likely.

Informational

Activists plan to protest at the Courthouse of Thessaloniki on 26is Oktovriou in Thessaloniki from 10:00 Jan. 8. The purpose of the demonstration is to express solidarity with three activists arrested for squatting. It was not immediately clear how many participants may attend.

Law enforcement officers will likely deploy nearby to facilitate the gathering. The presence of demonstrators and police will likely disrupt vehicular transport in the area. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.

Avoid the protest 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.
