How to stay safe at a protest
Avoid all protests. Even peaceful events can turn violent without warning.
Your safety is your priority. Avoid the area around the unrest.
If there is a possibility that the situation could become more dangerous, there are ways you can be prepared to make sure you stay safe:
- If you're safe where you are, stay put. Many protests are short. You may be able to wait until the protestors leave.
- If it's not safe where you are, get to safety. If possible, go back to your accommodation, a police station or other safe place away from the unrest.
- If it's a march, find out the route and where it's going. Avoid it.
- Don't go and watch. Protests are unpredictable. You could get swept up in it. Police may accuse you of being involved.
