Jordan: Transport workers plan to protest in Amman June 7

Event

Workers of smart transport applications plan to demonstrate outside the Ministry of Transport in Amman from 10:00 June 7. Protesters are demanding that authorities address several issues, including costly permit fees, poor working conditions, and high taxes. Dozens to hundreds of individuals could attend the demonstration.

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the Ministry of Transport the morning of June 7. 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 June 7.
