While the actions have so far remained largely peaceful, heightened security is nonetheless likely around demonstration sites. Localized transport and business disruptions are also likely in rally-affected areas. Clashes between protesters and security forces cannot be ruled out, especially if security forces attempt to forcibly disperse crowds.
Advice
Avoid all demonstrations as a precaution. Allow additional time to reach destinations near rally locations; consider taking alternative routes to circumvent any related disruptions. Do not attempt to drive through any protester-erected roadblocks; wait for the police to dismantle them instead before proceeding. If violence occurs, immediately leave the area and seek shelter in a secure, nongovernmental building. Heed the instructions of security personnel.
