Demonstrations
Local law prohibits protesting or demonstrating without a permit.

• Internet and mobile phone service outages are common, especially during protests.

Crime

• The most reported crimes are pickpocketing, bag-snatching, and phone theft.

Limited U.S. consular assistance
The Government of Pakistan restricts the travel of U.S. government personnel working in Pakistan.

• U.S. government employees working in Pakistan are required to use armed escorts and armored vehicles when traveling in certain parts of the country, both for official and personal travel.
