Jordan: Protest planned outside the Grand Husseini Mosque in Amman April 22

Event

Activists are planning to march in front of the Grand Husseini Mosque in Amman April 22 following afternoon prayers; the exact start time is unclear. Demonstrators are condemning recent clashes between Palestinians and Israeli security forces at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. Dozens to hundreds of individuals could attend the protest.

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the Grand Husseini Mosque the afternoon of April 22. Clashes between police and protesters cannot be ruled out, particularly if demonstrators are overly disruptive or if they ignore police orders to disperse.

Advice

Avoid the protest due to the potential for clashes. Heed the advice of security personnel. Allow additional time if traveling through the affected area April 22.
