Civil Disturbances: Can result from seemingly peaceful public gatherings which can quickly turn violent. Often within a peaceful crowd these are instigators of violence who can turn a march or public protest into a riot. You should avoid any public gathering, whether politically or socially oriented as these can expose you to the risk of injury, arrest or kidnapping. Often non local persons can also become the targets of crowd attention and as a foreigner you will be at more risk that the local participants.

If you are caught within a hostile public gathering you should seek to distance yourself quickly from the crowd and seek a safe place to wait until the gathering moves on or disperses. You should seek a place which is safe and can protect you either from the crowd or aggressive police responses. You should avoid remaining in the area to watch events as you will expose yourself to avoidable risks.

Where possible you should return to your residence and remain inside until the problems have ceased. You should also stay in a safe location for a sensible period after the event as often violence can return quickly without warning.
