Informational

Political activists affiliated with the UK branch of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party will stage rallies in London and Manchester on Oct. 15. The purpose of the action is to mobilize support for the imprisoned party leader and former Prime Minister Imran Khan. Activists will gather near the Consulate General of Pakistan in Manchester at 15:00 and the High Commission of Pakistan in London at 16:00.

Related demonstrations of varying types, including marches, could occur near prominent government buildings, public squares, and thoroughfares in both cities. Well-attended gatherings are likely to draw hundreds of participants.

Authorities will probably monitor any such gatherings as a precaution. Isolated skirmishes between activists and police cannot be ruled out. Associated localized transport and business disruptions are possible.

Avoid all demonstrations as a standard precaution. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Plan accordingly for possible localized transport and business disruptions. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
