Uruguay Tactical: Feminist activists to hold demonstration at Plaza Libertad in Montevideo at 18:30 (local time) on November 16; allot for disruptions
Please be advised
- Feminist activists associated with the Coordinadora de Feminismos UY are slated to hold a demonstration at Plaza Libertad, also known as Plaza de Cagancha, in Montevideo at 18:30 (local time) on November 16.
- The protest is being held to denounce two femicides recorded in the last week.
Assessments
- Given the mobilization capacity of the group involved, the protest is likely to draw a turnout in the low hundreds. A bolstered security presence can be anticipated in the vicinity of Plaza Libertad during the evening hours to monitor proceedings.
- The protest is expected to transpire largely peacefully. However, due to the heightened sentiments surrounding the recent femicides, small-scale scuffles between protesters and police are possible.
- Localized disruptions to pedestrian and vehicular traffic can be anticipated in the vicinity of Plaza Libertad from 18:30 onwards.
