Mongolia: Additional protests possible in Ulaanbaatar as of April 11

Event

Activists could continue to protest in central Ulaanbaatar to demand the government address economic and social grievances as of April 11. Demonstrations are most likely to occur at Sukhbaatar Square, where groups of mostly young people held gatherings the previous week. Hundreds to several thousand protesters could join future rallies.

Heightened security is likely to continue in Sukhbaatar Square and nearby areas in the coming days. Officers could block roads in the vicinity, causing localized transport disruptions. Police previously arrested several protesters, and minor clashes may occur, though significant violence appears unlikely.

Advice

Avoid Sukhbaatar Square and nearby government buildings due to the potential for minor clashes. Follow security personnel directives. If violence breaks out nearby, immediately depart the area and seek shelter in a secure, nongovernment building.
