Australia: Sikh activists to march in Perth at 1300 Dec. 11

Event

The Sikh Council of Western Australia plans to hold a protest march in central Perth 1300 Dec. 11. Participants intend to express support for protesting farmers in India who are denouncing recently passed agricultural laws. Protesters plan to gather at Elizabeth Quay before marching along William Street and St Georges Terrace before ending the procession at the Consulate General of India. Dozens of people will likely participate in the march.

Localized transport disruptions are likely, especially on William Street and St Georges Terrace. Police may divert vehicles from the area. Traffic on nearby roads may also be affected. The protest will likely proceed peacefully.
