Event

Activists plan to protest outside Parliament in Tehran from 09:00 July 3 against the government's proposed changes to dowry laws. Protesters claim that the changes would be disadvantageous for women. Dozens to hundreds of individuals could attend the demonstration.

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near Parliament the morning of July 3. 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 protest due to the potential for clashes. Heed the advice of security personnel. Allow additional time if traveling through the affected area July 3.
