Liberia: Protests are possible in Monrovia and Lofa County through May 10
Protests are possible in Monrovia and Lofa County, Liberia, through May 10 following controversial court ruling; heightened security likely.
Event
Protests are possible in Monrovia and in Lofa County through May 10 following a court ruling that rejected the participation of an opposition Unity Party (UP) candidate in the Lofa County senatorial by-election, scheduled for May 10. Protests are likely in the vicinity of the National Elections Commission in Monrovia and in urban centers across Lofa county.
Police will likely deploy to monitor any gatherings that occur. Localized road travel delays are likely near any protest site. Clashes are possible if demonstrators are overly disruptive or if they ignore police orders to disperse.
Advice
Avoid all protests as a precaution. Exercise caution near possible protest sites. Heed the directives of local authorities.
