Denmark: Activist group Men in Black to protest in central Copenhagen during the evening of March 13
Activists to protest in Copenhagen, Denmark, from 19:00 March 13 to denounce COVID-19 restrictions. Disruptions likely, violence possible.
Event
The Men in Black activist group plans to demonstrate in central Copenhagen March 13 to denounce ongoing COVID-19 restrictions. Participants will gather at 19:00 on Hulgards Plads. Up to 1,000 people could participate.
Police will almost certainly deploy to monitor the protest; associated security measures could prompt localized disruptions. Low-level violence is possible; related demonstrations have previously devolved into clashes with police. While bystanders are unlikely to be targeted, any violence would pose an incidental risk.
Advice
Avoid the demonstration as a routine security precaution and to mitigate associated disruptions. Heed instructions from security services and leave the area at the first sign of a confrontation. Allow extra time to reach destinations in central Copenhagen during the evening of March 13.
