The Bangladesh government has imposed a curfew across the country and there has been widespread violence resulting in deaths.

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office now advises against all but essential travel to the whole of Bangladesh at this time.

I am in contact with the FCDO and am keeping abreast of developments in the country.

The UK supports fundamental freedoms and respect for human rights, including the right to protest and peaceful assembly.

Like many of my constituents, I have family and friends in Bangladesh, and I am very concerned about the situation there. Any of my constituents who are concerned about relatives in the country or have questions over the updated FCDO travel advice can get in touch with my office.

Please email [email protected] and include your address and contact number.
