Norway: Activists to demonstrate in Oslo and Stavanger Oct. 8
Activists to protest at Jernbanetorget, Oslo, and Byparken, Stavanger, Norway, 17:00 Oct. 8. Heightened security likely.
Activists plan to protest at Jernbanetorget, Oslo, and Byparken, Stavanger, from 17:00 Oct. 8. The purpose of the demonstrations is to demand the release of political prisoners in Iran. It was not immediately clear how many participants may attend.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest sites. Though unlikely, low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers or ideologically opposed individuals cannot be ruled out. The Oslo protest will occur near Oslo Central Station but is unlikely to disrupt rail activity.
Avoid the affected areas as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near protest sites. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
