International Security Intelligence Brief:
Bangladesh Capital: Dhaka Threat Level: 5
(Political, Crime, Demonstrations, Terrorism)
The Awami League and its allies have called for a transport blockade throughout the country on 7 and 8 January to demand electoral reforms. At least 45 people have been killed and hundreds injured in political violence since the caretaker government took over. Political confrontations such as demonstrations, marches, and nation-wide strikes (hartals) are unpredictable and have potential for violence. There are no indications that the elections scheduled in the beginning of 2007, will be any different.
