• Activists from the Australia-Cuba Friendship Society are slated to hold a rally on the corner of Wharf and Leichhardt streets in Brisbane from 09:30 (local time) on May 5.
• The protesters will demonstrate against the alleged US blockade of Cuba and in coordination with the broader May Day protest occurring at the same location on that day.

The turnout at the slated protest will likely reach the low-to-mid dozens, based on the social media traction garnered by the event coupled with the resonance of the issue. The authorities will bolster security measures in the vicinity of the protest location as part of standard precautionary protocols. These will include the deployment of additional police personnel, especially considering that the protest will occur as part of the broader May Day demonstrations. The gathering is expected to transpire peacefully, based on precedent witnessed in similar May Day protests in recent days. Localized disruptions to vehicular and pedestrian travel are liable in the vicinity of the protest location due to the anticipated turnout and related security measures during the protest hours on May 5.

Those operating or residing in Brisbane on May 5 are advised to allot for disruptions in the vicinity of the aforementioned location due to the slated demonstrations.
