The Saudi Embassy in the United Kingdom has issued a warning to Saudi citizens ahead of planned demonstrations in London this weekend, urging them to exercise caution and avoid public gatherings. In a statement released on Friday, the embassy confirmed that protests are expected to take place on Saturday across several locations in the British capital.
Embassy Advisory for Saudi Nationals
The embassy strongly advised Saudi nationals to follow the instructions of local authorities and steer clear of demonstration sites to ensure their personal safety. For those requiring assistance, an emergency contact number has been provided: +44 779 951 9495.
Planned Events in London
Among the large demonstrations anticipated on Saturday is an event commemorating Nakba Day, which marks the mass displacement of Palestinians in 1948. Additionally, a far-right nationalist rally called “Unite the Kingdom” is also scheduled. The city will also host the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium between Manchester City and Chelsea on Saturday afternoon, adding to the large crowds expected.
The embassy’s advisory comes amid heightened tensions and the potential for clashes between opposing groups. Saudi citizens are encouraged to remain vigilant and prioritize their safety by avoiding crowded areas where protests are taking place.
