Iraq: Activists plan nationwide protests Oct. 25

Activists plan to demonstrate nationwide Oct. 25 to commemorate the 2019 Tishreen Protest Movement. The main gathering will be at Tahrir Square in Baghdad from 10:00. Associated demonstrations will also likely occur at public squares and government buildings across the country.

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near gathering sites. Clashes between police and protesters are possible, particularly if demonstrators ignore police orders to disperse.
