Europe: Activists likely to stage further protests against the Iranian government in major cities through September

Event

Further rallies in support of protesters in Iran are likely in Western European cities through the end of September. Hundreds of attendees joined rallies in London and Paris Sept. 25, which ended in clashes between police and some protestors. Activists also staged events in Stockholm, Berlin, Athens, Madrid, and Dublin. Anti-government demonstrations in Iran are continuing, which will likely further incite further protests in major cities. Activists are likely to gather outside Iranian embassies and other cultural sites.

Heightened security and some localized road travel delays are likely near protest sites. Police activity is likely to remain intense around diplomatic missions. Further clashes are possible.

Advice

Avoid the protests as a routine security precaution. Expect some travel delays and disruption in the immediate vicinity of the protest sites. Follow local travel and security advice. In the event of violence, withdraw from the area.
