This message is to inform U.S. citizens traveling or residing in the Dominican Republic that a large
political rally is scheduled to take place on Thursday, May 17, starting at around 3:30pm. The
rally is planned to take place on Avenida Maximo Gomez, around the intersections of Avenida John F.
Kennedy and Avenida Maximo Gomez and and on Avenida 27th of February and Avenida Maximo Gomez. We remind U.S. citizens that even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational
and possibly escalate into violence. U.S. citizens are therefore urged to avoid the areas of
demonstrations if possible, and to exercise caution if within the vicinity of any demonstrations. U.S. citizens should stay current with media coverage of local events and be aware of their surroundings at all times. </pre>
