Bangladesh: BNP to hold rally in Dhaka March 25
Bangladesh Nationalist Party to stage rally outside Naya Paltan office in Dhaka, Bangladesh, from 10:00-12:00 March 25. Disruptions likely.
The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) will hold a rally outside their main office in the Naya Paltan area of Dhaka 10:00-12:00 on March 25. The rally is in anticipation of Bangladesh's Independence Day on March 26. Several prominent BNP members from across Bangladesh will attend the event. Participation is expected to be in the low thousands.
Authorities will likely monitor the rally and may move to disperse overly disruptive crowds. Clashes between police and activists, as well as between supporters of rival camps, cannot be ruled out. Demonstrators may march along or block roadways, prompting localized transport disruptions. Associated localized business disruptions are also possible.
Avoid the demonstration as a precaution. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Allow additional travel time near the gathering site. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
