Event

The Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami party will rally at the auditorium of the Institution of Engineers along Moulana Bhasani Road, Dhaka, 14:00 June 10. The action, originally scheduled as a protest march 15:00 June 5, is to demand the release of its detained members. Organizers had changed the date and venue of the event according to police permission. Dozens of participants will likely gather.

Authorities will likely deploy additional security around the protest site if the event is well-attended. Localized transport disruptions may occur, especially if activists block or march on roadways near the rally venue. Police may disperse crowds if gatherings become disruptive or defy security restrictions, possibly leading to clashes.

Advice

Avoid the protest as a security precaution. If violence occurs nearby, immediately depart the area for a secure non-government building. Allow additional time for travel in the vicinity. Heed all official traffic and security advisories.
