• The Jamiat Ulama-e-Islam Bangladesh called for a rally at the North Gate of Baitul Mukarram National Mosque in Dhaka following Friday afternoon prayers, scheduled between 13:00- 14:00 (local time), on July 25.  
• The rally will be held to protest the establishment of the UN Human Rights Commission Office in Dhaka.  

1. The anticipated turnout at the slated rally is likely to range between the high dozens to low hundreds, given the group’s mobilization capabilities in the city. The authorities will bolster security measures in the vicinity of the Baitul Mukarram National Mosque, especially given its close proximity to the Bangladesh Secretariat (approximately 0.6 km away), where Section 144, prohibiting such gatherings, remains in force. Such measures will include the deployment of additional security personnel and the placement of barricades to control the crowd.  
2. There remains a risk of clashes between the police and the protesters in case participants engage in disruptive tactics such as breaching security protocols or obstructing major roads. The police are liable to implement crowd control measures, including temporary detentions or the use of baton charges, to quell any unrest. Travel disruptions are anticipated in the vicinity of the Baitul Mukarram National Mosque due to the anticipated turnout and associated security measures during the protest hours on July 25.  

Those operating or residing in Dhaka on July 25 are advised to maintain vigilance in the vicinity of the Baitul Mukarram National Mosque due to the slated rally and associated risk of clashes while allotting for travel disruptions.
