Prison reform activists to protest at Kadikoy Pier in Istanbul, Turkiye, from 15:00 Jan. 28. Heightened security likely.
Activists affiliated with the Prisoner Solidarity Initiative plan to protest at Kadikoy Pier in Istanbul from 15:00 Jan. 28. The purpose of the demonstration is to demand the closure of high-security prisons. It is unclear how many participants may attend.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the demonstration site. Though unlikely, low-level confrontations between protesters and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near Kadikoy Pier. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
