Avoid four rally sites, embassy advises Pinoys in Bahrain


Filipinos in Bahrain were advised to avoid four areas where rallies, including a vehicular demonstration, were scheduled on Wednesday and Thursday. The Philippine Embassy issued Advisory Letter 44 warning Filipinos that clashes in these areas may become violent. "Kindly avoid these areas as clashes between protesters and security forces may erupt anytime and turn violent," Minister and Consul General Sahid Glang said in Advisory Letter 44. The areas where the demonstrations were scheduled take place include:

  • Bilad al Qadeem, Zinj, and Muharraq (Nov. 2 and 3)
  • Sh. Khalifa bin Salman/King Faisal Highway (vehicular demonstration Nov. 3) "Stay alert and avoid unnecessary travels outside your homes. As always, demonstrations can occur anywhere around Bahrain without notice," Glang said. - VVP, GMA News
