The conveners stated in a press statement that there will be no counter-protesters and that there will be protection against infiltrating protesters.
The protest will be peaceful, and anyone with malicious intentions will be turned over to the police to be dealt with.
After much deliberation, it was decided that the protest would take place on August 4th.
