Turkiye: Healthcare workers to demonstrate in Istanbul's Fatih district Oct. 25
Medical workers to protest at the Istanbul Medical Chamber in Fatih, Istanbul, Turkiye, 18:30 Oct. 25. Heightened security likely.
Healthcare workers plan to protest at the Istanbul Medical Chamber building on Turk Ocagi Caddesi in Fatih, Istanbul, from 18:30 Oct. 25. The purpose of the demonstration is to denounce hospital closures and related layoffs stemming from a recent scandal in the medical sector. It remains unclear how many participants may attend.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely at the protest site. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers or opposed individuals cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the protest site. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance.
