Jordan: Activists plan to protest outside House of Representatives in Amman July 6

Event

Activists plan to protest outside the House of Representatives in Amman from 16:00 July 6 against gender-based violence in the Middle East. The demonstration comes following the high-profile murders of two female students - one in Jordan and the other in Egypt- in recent weeks. Hundreds of individuals could attend the event.

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the House of Representatives through the evening of July 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 protest due to the potential for clashes. Heed the advice of security personnel. Allow additional time if traveling through the affected area July 6.
