Germany: Human rights activists to demonstrate in Berlin, Nov. 20

Event

Human rights activists plan to demonstrate in Berlin, Nov. 20. The purpose of the action is to denounce Turkey's military activity in northern Syria. Participants will gather at Alexanderplatz from 16:00; attendance could reach into the hundreds.

Additional police will likely deploy to monitor the action. The demonstration and related increased security measures could prompt localized business and transport disruption. The action is likely to pass off peacefully but isolated scuffles with security services cannot be ruled out.

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. Anticipate possible disruptions in the surrounding area.
