Student activists plan protest outside Lahore Press Club in Lahore, Pakistan, 16:00 May 14. Increased security likely.

Warning

Student activists plan to hold a protest outside of the Lahore Press Club in Lahore at 16:00 on May 14 to denounce the recent violence occurring in Azad Jammu and Kashmir. While turnout remains unclear, several hundred people could participate in the demonstration.

Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely around the rally sites. Isolated clashes are possible; police could attempt to disperse the gathering forcibly. Vehicular congestion and potential road closures may affect the vicinity of demonstration sites, especially if road blockades occur. Associated business disruptions are possible.

Avoid the protest site due to potential clashes. In the event of violence, leave the area immediately for a secure, nongovernment building. Allow additional time for travel to nearby destinations and use alternative routes to circumvent rally sites. Heed all local security and traffic advisories.
