Activists to protest outside labor ministry in Tehran, Iran, 16:00 Sept. 25. Increased security, localized transport disruptions likely.
Activists plan to protest outside the Ministry of Cooperatives, Labor, and Social Welfare in Tehran from 16:00 Sept. 25. Protesters are demanding safer working conditions following the coal mine explosion in Tabas Sept. 21 that killed at least 49 workers. More than a hundred individuals could attend the demonstration.
Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely in the affected area. Clashes between police and protesters are possible, particularly if the latter are overly disruptive or ignore police orders to disperse.
Avoid the protest due to the potential for clashes. Heed the advice of security personnel. Allow additional time to reach destinations near the affected area Sept. 25.
