Widespread, violent protests and civil unrest in response to the political situation have been reported throughout the country, including in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar, and Quetta. Further unrest is likely. Section 144, prohibiting public assembly of more than 4 people, has been imposed nationwide. Disruptions to transportation (including road travel) and mobile and internet services should be expected. Extreme vigilance is recommended; bystanders are at risk of harm from violence or from the response by authorities. Travelers should avoid demonstrations, carry a fully charged communication device, follow the advice of local authorities, and monitor the situation through local media and embassy communications.
