US advises against travel to Bangladesh due to 'civil unrest'
The US State Department said on Saturday it has raised Bangladesh's travel advisory to level four, which urges people to not travel to the Asian country due to what Washington described as "civil unrest" amid ongoing protests.
The State Department also said it authorized the voluntary departure of non-emergency US government employees and family members in Bangladesh. A day earlier, the department had urged people to reconsider travel to the country.
Massive protests have broken out in Bangladesh over student anger against quotas that set aside 30 percent of government jobs for the families of those who fought for independence from Pakistan.
Police have fired tear gas to scatter protesters in some areas while the government has banned public gatherings, imposed communications restrictions, deployed the army in some parts, and imposed a curfew.
"Travelers should not travel to Bangladesh due to ongoing civil unrest in Dhaka. Demonstrations and violent clashes have been reported throughout the city of Dhaka, its neighboring areas, and throughout Bangladesh," the State Department said in a statement.
"Due to the security situation, there may be a delay in provision of routine consular services," it added.
The State Department also said that due to security concerns, US Embassy personnel in Bangladesh are subject to some movement and travel restrictions, which could limit their ability to provide emergency services to US citizens in Bangladesh.
The United States and Canada have called on Bangladesh to uphold the right to peaceful protest and expressed concern over violence that has occurred in the country in recent days.
Students have protested over public sector job quotas, which include a 30 percent reservation for family members of fighters from the 1971 War of Independence from Pakistan.
