Greece: Anti-imperialist activists to stage protest at Israeli and US embassies in Athens, May 16

Event

Anti-imperialist activists will protest in Athens from 18:00 May 16 to denounce the EU and NATO. Organizers will also protest Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip. Participants will gather outside the Ministry of National Defence before marching to the Israeli and US embassies.

Authorities will deploy additional police to the vicinity of the protest. Increased security measures, including movement restrictions, will likely prompt localized transport disruptions until the protest has concluded. Clashes between security forces and protesters are possible, particularly if the latter breach security cordons.

Advice

Exercise caution around the march route and avoid the protest 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.
