Activists to march in the Hague city center, Netherlands, from 17:30 Sept. 7. Heightened security, transport disruptions likely.
Event
Activists affiliated with the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement plan to conduct a protest march in the Hague city center from 17:30 Sept. 7. The purpose of the action is to draw attention to the treatment of Pashtuns in Pakistan. Participants plan to march from the Pier to the Peace Palace via Gevers Deynootweg, Badhuiskade, Jurriaan Kokstraat, Prins Willemstraat, Scheweningseweg, and Carnegieplein. It is unclear how many participants the event may draw.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely along the march route. Although unlikely, isolated scuffles between protesters and police cannot be ruled out.
Advice
Avoid the affected area the afternoon of Sept. 7. Allow additional time if traveling near the march route. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that a security disturbance may occur. Heed instructions from authorities.
