Colombia: Motorcycle group plans demonstrations in Bogota July 7

Event

Street Brothers Official plans to hold a motorcycle rally through the streets of Bogota July 7 to protest the extension of restrictions on having motorcyclists carry extra passengers in the city. They will gather at the Virgilio Barco Library from 11:00 before riding through the streets of Bogota. The exact route and duration of the rally have not been confirmed.

Demonstrations are likely to be peaceful but may attract dozens to hundreds of riders and continue through the afternoon. Heightened security is likely, but is unlikely to be concentrated, due to the mobile nature of the demonstrations. Nonetheless, some localized transit disruptions are likely. Clashes are unlikely, but cannot be ruled out.

Advice

Avoid any sites of developing protests as a precaution. Comply with all directives by authorities. Plan for some localized transit disruptions.
