08:26 AM EDT, 06/27/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Citigroup ( C ) has advised employees not to engage with protesters at its New York headquarters amid ongoing demonstrations by climate and pro-Palestine activists, Bloomberg reported late on Wednesday, citing a memo from Citigroup's ( C ) head of enterprise services and public affairs, Ed Skyler.

Protesters have attempted to block the building entrance, leading Citigroup's ( C ) Security and Investigative Services team to provide guidelines for staff on managing the situation, according to the report.

The company has urged staff to avoid altercations, follow instructions from security and law enforcement, and remain calm despite the disruptions, Bloomberg said.

So far, around 200 activists have reportedly been arrested.

Citigroup ( C ) did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
