France: Anti-Islamist Protest in Paris on 17 November

The Génération Identitaire group will hold an anti-Islamist rally from 14:00 (local time) to 17:00 on 17 November in Paris. The march is expected to depart from Place Denfert-Rochereau in Paris.

Advice

The rally is likely to be well-attended and counter-protests by opposing groups are also likely in the vicinity of the protest site. Increased security measure and road travel disruptions may occur along the march route. To minimize safety risk, avoid areas of large public gatherings or protests. Even events intended to be peaceful can escalate unexpectedly and quickly become violent.
