Dr. Conrad Murray won't just face the judge in his manslaughter case on Monday -- we're told an army of MJ অনুরাগী plans a little surprise of its own ... in the protest department.
A rep for Justice4MJ -- the অনুরাগী group planning the demonstration -- tells TMZ that scores of Jackson অনুরাগী plan to attend ... and it's all going down on the freeway overpass near the L.A. courthouse.
We're told when the hearing ends ... the protesters plan to march from the courthouse -- then quickly বিভক্ত করা for the overpasses as Murray makes his exit. They will bid Dr. Murray adieu as he drives off -- probably not in the friendliest of ways.
But we're guessing the protest is the least of Dr. Murray's worries.

TMZ has learned the Holmby Hills mansion where Michael Jackson died is getting a serious boost in security -- so nobody messes with the super-expensive property while it's on the market.
Sources connected to the প্রথমপাতা tell us ... now that people know the প্রথমপাতা is "vacated and for sale, the property owners have increased security to keep it safe."
As we previously reported, the owners are requiring potential buyers to go through an "extensive pre-qualifying check" before they can even walk in the door ... just to keep out the riffraff.
The প্রথমপাতা is currently on the market for a cool $28 mil.

TMZ has learned Michael Jackson's tomb has been defaced দ্বারা a stealth band of vandals -- who have marked the walls of MJ's mausoleum with hidden messages ... and it's all in permanent ink.
Security at Forest Lawn in Glendale, CA is on the lookout for "fans" who have been লেখা messages in hard-to-spot places outside the main window of the building in which MJ is entombed.
The লেখা is mostly hidden underneath ledges -- অথবা in spots covered দ্বারা bushes -- and contains messages like, "Miss you" and "Keep the dream alive."
Reps at Forest Lawn are pretty ticked off -- telling TMZ, "Activity such as this, is a prime example why we are evaluating the level of access to the various entrances of the Great Mausoleum."
Forest Lawn also tells us that anyone caught vandalizing the cemetery will be banned for life.
