STATE DEPARTMENT TRAVEL ADVISORY - Bangladesh
============================================================
Bangladesh - Caution
 June 3, 1992

U.S. citizens should be aware that public demonstrations, marches
and labor strikes are widely-used mediums of political expression in
Bangladesh, and that there is a potential for violence during these
events.  In the recent past, particularly violent political
incidents have occurred on university campuses.

Due to this potential for violence, U.S. citizens in Bangladesh
should avoid public demonstrations and political gatherings, and
should exercise caution if visiting university campuses.  U.S.
citizens are encouraged to register their presence at the American
Embassy, located on Madani Avenue, Baridhara, Dhaka, telephone
884700-22.

  No. 92-119

This replaces the previous travel advisory, dated November 29,
1991, and corrects the phone number of the U.S. Embassy in
Bangladesh.
