Jordan: Activists plan to protest outside Grand Husseini Mosque in Amman Oct. 14

Event

Activists plan to protest in front of the Grand Husseini Mosque in Amman the afternoon of Oct. 14 following Friday prayers; the exact start time of the action is unclear. Demonstrators are condemning the recent incursion of Israeli settlers into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound and clashes between Palestinians and Israeli security forces in the Shuafat refugee camp. Hundreds of individuals could attend the demonstration.

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the Grand Husseini Mosque the afternoon of Oct. 14. 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 to reach destinations near the affected area Oct. 14.
