Argentina: Abortion activists plan protest in front of US Embassy in Buenos Aires 16:30 June 27

Event

Abortion rights activists in Buenos Aires are planning a protest march in front of the US Embassy June 27. The demonstrators plan to meet at La Rural at 16:30 before marching to the US Embassy at 17:00 to oppose a Supreme Court opinion that overturned a 1973 ruling establishing the right to abortion nationwide in the US.

The demonstration will likely be well-attended, with hundreds to thousands of protesters. Heightened security and localized traffic disruptions are likely in the area. Counter-demonstrations and clashes are possible.

Advice

Avoid all protests as a precaution. Plan for traffic disruptions in central Buenos Aires. Comply with all orders given by authorities.
