Iran: Protests planned in Mashhad and Tehran April 6

Event

Shareholders of Padideh Shandiz plan to protest outside the company's offices in Mashhad and Tehran from 09:30 April 6 against the decline in stock prices and devaluation of their capital. Dozens to a hundred individuals could attend the event.

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest sites, the morning of April 6. Clashes between police and protesters cannot be ruled out, particularly if demonstrators are overly disruptive or if they ignore police orders to disperse.

Advice

Avoid the protests due to the potential for clashes. Heed the advice of security personnel. Allow additional time to reach destinations near the affected areas, April 6.
