Bangladesh: Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami party to stage protest march in Dhaka 15:00 June 5

Event

The Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami (Jamaat) party plans to stage a protest march in Dhaka, from 15:00 June 5 to demand the release of its members. Participants will gather at the north gate of Baitul Mukarram National Mosque before marching towards Kakrail. Hundreds of people could take part in the event.

Authorities will likely deploy additional security along the march route. Localized transport disruptions are likely due to the march and heightened security measures. Police may disperse crowds if gatherings become disruptive, possibly leading to clashes.

Advice

Avoid all protests as a security precaution. Plan routes circumventing the march route and allow additional time for travel. Heed all official traffic and security advisories. If violence occurs nearby, immediately depart the area.
