[phd.students.socioeco] Seasons greetings!

[Ann Hartell]

The latest warning from the U.S. State Department:

"Local media report that two competing demonstrations are scheduled for 
this Saturday, 3 December in the vicinity of the Westbahnhof. A 
rightwing group plans to protest at 1900 hours. A counter demonstration 
by a leftwing group is scheduled to start earlier, at 1730 hours. 
Reports include speculation on the possibility of violence in the event 
altercations materialize between opposing groups of protestors or 
opportunistic agitators, as well as the potential for vandalism. These 
reports have not estimated the number of participants, but since both 
demonstrations have been registered with the police, an appropriate 
security presence is expected.

Please note that in addition to a foreseeable potential for localized 
protest-related violence and vandalism, disruptions to pedestrian and 
vehicular traffic and tram service in the immediate vicinity of 
Westbahnhof and Mariahilferstrasse are also possible. Plan accordingly.

As always, remember to take personal security precautions to include 
being aware of your surroundings and avoiding large gatherings."
