Pro-Palestinian organizations are planning to create a large demonstration in Los Angeles ahead of the Oscar ceremony, which will be held tonight. The organizers expect hundreds of people to show up to march, block, obstruct traffic - all this in their demand for an immediate and permanent ceasefire.
Los Angeles Police Department is preparing for them with increased forces and will try to maintain the balance between freedom of expression and the need to allow the ceremony to take place as planned. The New York Times predicted that the speeches would not be political, because the winners would fear for their careers.
