South Korea: Baloch National Movement activists to rally at Busan's BIFF Square May 28

Event

Activists affiliated with the Baloch National Movement's South Korea chapter will stage a protest at Busan's BIFF Square May 28. The purpose of the action is to denounce Pakistan's 1998 nuclear weapons tests in Balochistan Province; the rally coincides with the 25th anniversary of the Chagai-I nuclear tests. The event is likely to draw dozens of participants.

Authorities will likely deploy an increased security presence in the vicinity of the gathering site. Localized transport disruptions are possible. While the event is likely to pass off peacefully, minor skirmishes between police and activists cannot be ruled out.

Advice

Avoid the rally as a standard precaution. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Allow additional travel time near the gathering site. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
