Activists to protest outside National Museum in Dhaka, Bangladesh, Sept. 30. Increased security likely; clashes possible.
Event
Activists affiliated with the Seven Party Alliance will protest outside Dhaka's Bangladesh National Museum Sept. 30 to demand an end to the government’s alleged nationwide repression, among other things. The event may draw hundreds of participants.
Authorities will likely monitor the demonstration and may attempt to disperse the gathering if it is especially disruptive. Clashes between activists and police, as well as counterdemonstrators, are possible. Localized transport disruptions are likely, especially if protesters march along and/or block nearby roadways, such as Shahbagh Road and Kazi Nazrul Islam Avenue.
Advice
Avoid the demonstration as a standard precaution. If violence breaks out, depart the area immediately. Allow additional time to reach destinations near the Bangladesh National Museum. Do not attempt to cross protester roadblocks; wait for police to clear them before proceeding. Heed all official security and travel advisories.
