Pakistan: Legislators plan to protest outside the Indian High Commission in Islamabad from 13:00 June 10

Event

Pakistani Senate Chairman Muhammad Sadiq Sanjrani has called legislators to protest outside the Indian High Commission in Islamabad from 13:00 June 10. Organizers are condemning remarks by two Indian ruling party leaders on the Muslim Prophet Muhammad and demanding a boycott of Indian products. Protesters will gather after afternoon Islamic prayers and may march from the Parliament House to the Indian High Commission. Dozens of participants may join the event.

Security personnel will likely monitor the rally. Police may try to disperse the gathering if it is especially disruptive; skirmishes between police and protesters are possible. Localized transport disruptions could occur, particularly near the Indian High Commission.

Advice

Avoid the protest sites as a precaution. If skirmishes break out, depart the area immediately and seek shelter at a safe nongovernment building. Heed all instructions of security personnel. Plan for localized transport disruptions.
