Mexico: Activists to demonstrate in front of Iranian embassy in Mexico City starting at 15:00 Dec. 19

Event

Activists affiliated with the group Citizens with Iran (Ciudadanos con Iran) plan to rally outside the Embassy of Iran in Mexico City during the afternoon of Dec. 19. The purpose of the gathering is to express support for demonstrators in Iran and opposition to capital punishment in that country. The event will begin at 15:00; organizers expect the demonstration to end at about 17:00. It remains unclear how many participants the rally may draw.

Authorities will likely deploy additional security near the embassy; localized traffic disruptions are possible along Avenida Paseo de la Reforma where the diplomatic mission is located.

Advice

Avoid the demonstration as a precaution. Allow additional time to destinations near the Iranian embassy as the protest is taking place. Reconfirm business appointments at the embassy.
