Czech Republic: Anti-government protest at Venceslas Place in Prague from 14:00 Sept. 16

Event

The non-parliamentary party, Law, Respect, Expertise (PRO), has called for a protest at Wenceslas Square in Prague from 14:00 Sept. 16. The purpose of the action is to denounce policies pursued by the government. The event may draw hundreds of participants. Organizers might then lead a march to government buildings, including the Interior Ministry.

Police will likely deploy additional personnel to monitor and facilitate the event. Large crowds and related security measures could prompt localized road congestion and business disruptions. Clashes with security forces cannot be ruled out.

Advice

Avoid the demonstration as a routine security precaution and to mitigate associated disruptions. Allow extra time to reach destinations in the area. Leave at the first sign of confrontation.
