100th ARW Community Awareness Bulletin: Central London Demonstration Published Jan. 14, 2010 100th Air Refueling Office Antiterrorism Office RAF MILDENHALL, England -- Several protest organizations such as but not limited to; the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Stop the War Coalition, Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) and the British Muslim Initiative have planned a "Gaza Remembrance Die-In " in Trafalgar Square on Saturday the Jan. 16. Although there are no indications of anti-American sentiment, similar protests of this type, have spurned several small pockets of violence/criminal activity. We ask all military members, dependents and DoD employees to remain cognizant of demonstration areas for your safety. Remember, it is increasingly important to monitor your surroundings at all times and exercise caution while traveling to large cities or at large gathering areas. Report all suspicious activity to the local constabularies (999 Emergency) or the Security Forces Control Center (911 Emergency, 238-2667 for non-emergencies).
