Colombia: Activists protesting at Bogota's Bolivar Square May 3

Event

Activists affiliated with the National Indigenous Guard are rallying at Bogota's Bolivar Square May 3 to demand the government incorporate their recommendations in the National Development Plan. It remained immediately unclear the number of participants the gathering has drawn. Demonstrators may gather at other locations in the city, including prominent government buildings, public squares, and thoroughfares.

Authorities will likely deploy a heightened security presence to the protest site. Isolated skirmishes between police and activists cannot be ruled out. Localized transport disruptions are possible for the duration of the demonstration.

Advice

Avoid the protest as a precaution. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Allow additional travel time near the gathering site. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
