Spain: Activists to demonstrate in Barcelona Jan. 9
Activists to protest at Placa de Sant Jaume in Barcelona, Spain, from 19:00 Jan. 9. Heightened security, transport disruptions likely.
Activists plan to protest at Placa de Sant Jaume in Barcelona from 19:00 Jan. 9. The purpose of the demonstration is to demand the release of Catalan activist Enric Duran from French custody. 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 will likely disrupt vehicular transport in the area. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers 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.
