UK: Protesters to gather in London October 3
Protesters to gather outside Downing Street in London on October 3; avoid all demonstrations as a precaution
Event
The "Stand Up to Racism" civil society group has called for supporters to demonstrate outside Downing Street in London on Saturday, October 3. The demonstration is being held to denounce the alleged government plans to create offshore centers for processing asylum seekers. Participants are expected to gather from 12:00 (local time).
Additional police will likely be deployed to monitor the demonstration and may attempt to shut down the protest if protesters deem to be breaching the current coronavirus disease (COVID-19) restrictions on public gatherings. Localized disruptions are likely in the vicinity.
Advice
Those in London are advised to monitor the situation, avoid all demonstrations as a precaution, anticipate localized disruptions, and adhere to instructions issued by local authorities.
