Germany: Activists plan demonstration in Berlin the evening of April 22

Event

Activists plan to demonstrate at Forckenbeckplatz in Berlin from 21:00 April 22. The action is in support of anti-pension reform protests in France. It is unknown how many will participate in the event.

Police will likely deploy additional resources to facilitate and monitor the event. Security precautions and associated road closures may cause localized travel disruptions. Confrontations cannot be ruled out as the event may carry some antigovernment sentiment.

Advice

Avoid the demonstration as a routine security precaution and to mitigate associated disruptions. Allow extra time to reach destinations in proximity to the demonstration. Heed instructions from security services and leave the area at the first sign of a confrontation.
