Azerbaijan: Opposition parties plan to demonstrate outside Iranian embassy in Baku from 15:00 Nov. 15

Event

Several opposition parties plan to demonstrate outside the Iranian embassy in Baku from 15:00 Nov. 15. The action aims to protest Iran's alleged "anti-Azerbaijan" policies and violent suppression of peaceful demonstrations in the country. Hundreds of people could participate in the gathering.

Heightened security, as well as localized business and transport disruptions, are likely. While the protest will probably pass peacefully, isolated skirmishes between police and demonstrators remain possible.

Advice

Avoid the protest due to possible clashes. Seek alternative routes and allow additional time to reach destinations near the impact area. Heed instructions of security forces.
