Protest march to occur from Regal Chowk to Karachi Press Club in Karachi, Pakistan, from 16:00 May 12. Increased security likely.
Activist groups plan to hold a protest march from Regal Chowk to the Karachi Press Club in Karachi from 16:00 May 12. This action aims to raise awareness of the murder of a political activist killed in February 2024. 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.
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, use alternative routes to circumvent rally sites. Do not navigate roadblocks as a safety precaution. Monitor trusted local media for updates on protest details, as organizers may not announce them in advance. Heed all local security and traffic advisories.
