Malaysia: Activists plan to protest at the US Embassy in Kuala Lumpur from 14:00 April 5
Activists plan to protest at the US Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from 14:00 April 5. Increased security likely.
The US Embassy in Malaysia has issued a security alert for a demonstration outside the facility in Kuala Lumpur from 14:00 on April 5. Details of the event remain unclear. Embassy officials will close the facility entrance to pedestrian traffic from 12:00 until the rally concludes. The number of attendees remained immediately unclear.
Authorities will almost certainly deploy increased security measures at the US Embassy and nearby areas as a precaution. Security forces may arrest participants if they deem demonstrators to be overly disruptive. While the event will likely pass peacefully, clashes between police and demonstrators cannot be ruled out. Associated localized transport and business disruptions are possible.
Avoid the protest as a precaution. If violence occurs nearby, immediately depart the area and seek shelter at a nongovernment building. Plan for potential localized transport and business disruptions near the site. Heed all official security and transport advisories.
