Informational

Event

Activists from the Democrats Abroad group plan to protest outside the US Embassy in Copenhagen at 14:00 May 14 and 13:00 May 15. The action is to denounce the potential overturn of abortion rights in the US. Dozens to hundreds of people could participate in the action.

Police will almost certainly deploy to monitor the protest; associated security measures could prompt localized disruptions. Low-level violence is possible, particularly if protesters become unruly or refuse to disperse.

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.
