• The Private University Students Alliance of Bangladesh (PUSAB) announced a gathering near the Ibn Sina Hospital in Jatrabari area of Dhaka at 15:00 (local time) on July 21.
• The event will be held in remembrance of the madrasa students’ resistance during the July uprising in 2024.

1. The turnout is expected to reach the high dozens to low hundreds, based on the organizing capabilities of PUSAB and due to the overall symbolic importance of the gathering. The authorities are likely to implement heightened security measures in the vicinity of the aforementioned location as part of the standard security protocol to monitor the crowd. Such measures are expected to include the deployment of police personnel and the installation of barricades.
2. There remains a latent risk of clashes between the protesters and the police, particularly should the former hold impromptu protests and engage in perceived disruptive behavior such as breaching security protocols or blocking major thoroughfares. In such cases of unrest, the authorities are likely to employ crowd control measures, including baton charges and temporary detention. Disruptions to vehicular travel are expected in the vicinity of the Ibn Sina Hospital due to the slated gathering and associated security measures during the event hours on July 21.

Those operating in Dhaka on July 21 are advised to maintain vigilance in the vicinity of the Ibn Sina Hospital due to the slated gathering and associated risk of clashes, while allotting for disruptions.
