Protest to occur at the Bara Bazar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 16:00 July 7. Increased security, localized transport disruptions likely.
Human rights activist Manzoor Pashteen has announced a protest at the Bara Bazar in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa at 16:00 July 7. The action is to raise awareness on multiple issues, including the perceived rise of terrorism and alleged persecution of people on the Durand Line. Participation will likely be in the low thousands.
Additional protests are possible, particularly near urban centers like Peshawar. Demonstration sites include near government buildings, public squares, thoroughfares, and sports venues. Authorities will likely monitor the protest and could use force to disperse unruly crowds. Clashes between police and activists cannot be ruled out. Localized transport disruptions are likely. Associated business disruptions are possible.
Avoid all demonstrations as a standard precaution. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Plan accordingly for potential localized transport and business disruptions. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
