SUBJECT: TRAVEL ALERT - LEBANON
1. The Department of State alerts Americans traveling to
or residing in Lebanon that Lebanese Parliamentary
elections will be held on June 7, 2009. The U.S. Embassy
in Beirut, Lebanon, expects greater than normal traffic
congestion, and large crowds at or near polling stations
on that day. The Embassy expects the elections will
occur in a peaceful and orderly fashion, but reminds
American citizens in Lebanon that even peaceful
gatherings and demonstrations can turn violent
unexpectedly. This Travel Alert expires on June 30,
2009.
2. American citizens planning travel to Lebanon just
before or immediately after the elections should
carefully consider the necessity of such travel before
making final plans. The U.S. Embassy has maintained a
Travel Warning for Lebanon for many years, and continues
to advise American citizens to avoid all travel to
Lebanon.
3. American citizens in Lebanon are advised to monitor
their own security situation at all times, and to avoid
large public gatherings, protests, and demonstrations.
American citizens are encouraged to report unusual events
or activity to the Embassy immediately.
4. Updated information on travel and security in Lebanon
may be obtained from the Department of State by calling
1-888-407-4747 within the United States and Canada or,
from overseas, 1-202-501-4444. Additional details can be
found in the Department of State's Country Specific
Information for Lebanon and the Worldwide Caution, which
are available on the Department's Internet website at
http://travel.state.gov.
5. Minimize considered.
