"If feeling unsafe, US citizens should consider returning to the United States. Bangladesh is currently on a Level 4 travel advisory of 'Do Not Travel'."

The embassy asked the US citizens to review personal security plans, remain aware of the surroundings, including local events, and monitor local news stations for updates.

US Embassy Dhaka continues to offer limited, routine consular services as the embassy personnel are confined to movements within the diplomatic enclave and have been warned to avoid the Justice Shahabuddin Ahmed Park from 12:00pm on Saturday."

Reports indicate a peaceful sit-in may occur at Justice Shahabuddin Ahmed Park in the Gulshan 2 neighborhood of Dhaka at 3:00pm on Saturday.
