Turkiye: Labor unions to stage demonstration in Gaziantep, Sept. 13
Labor union confederation to lead demonstration in Gaziantep, Turkiye, Sept. 13. Heightened security likely.
HAK-IS Trade Union Confederation members plan to demonstrate in Gaziantep on Sept. 13. The demonstration aims to demand improved state support and working conditions across labor sectors. The event start time remains unclear; previous demonstrations have commenced at 17:30. The management of HAK-IS Trade Union Confederation has not yet confirmed a location for the event; however, the rally will likely occur in Gaziantep's central areas. Participation numbers may range in the low thousands based on previous HAK-IS rallies.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid all demonstrations as a precaution. Allow additional time if traveling through Gaziantep city center on Sept. 13. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
