As with all demonstrations, all DOD members, family members, and contractors are advised not risk their safety and to avoid these areas.
While most demonstrations are intended to be peaceful, violence may occur. Agitators and counter demonstrators, unknown to event organizers, may also attend. If a community member unexpectedly encounters a hostile demonstration, they should depart the area or seek shelter if they are unable to leave. Listen to host nation authorities and don’t engage with demonstrators.
