Activists plan to protest outside National Museum in Beirut, Lebanon, Oct. 2. Increased security, localized transport disruptions likely.
Event
Activists plan to demonstrate outside the National Museum in Beirut from 17:00 Oct. 2 in support of anti-government protests in Iran. The protests in Iran began Sept. 16 following the death of a woman - Mahsa Amini - in police custody. Dozens to hundreds of individuals could attend the demonstration.
Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the National Museum the evening of Oct. 2. Clashes between police and protesters cannot be ruled out, particularly if demonstrators are overly disruptive or 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 Oct. 2.
