Jordan: Activists plan to protest outside water ministry in Amman Feb. 20

Activists plan to protest outside the Ministry of Water and Irrigation in Amman from 13:00 Feb. 20. Protesters are calling for authorities not to renew a contract with an Israel-based environmental organization. Dozens to a hundred individuals could attend the demonstration.

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the Ministry of Water and Irrigation the afternoon of Feb. 20. Clashes between police and protesters are possible, particularly if the latter are overly disruptive or ignore police orders to disperse.
