Canada Issues Travel Advisory for Bangladesh Citing Severe Risks

Special Correspondent

The Canadian government has issued a high level of warning for its citizens traveling to Bangladesh.

The warning was issued in a notice published on the travel section of the country’s government website on Thursday, September 18.

The notification has issued a ‘yellow alert’ for travel to Bangladesh. This means that citizens should be extra cautious when traveling. However, Canada has issued a ‘red alert’ for travel to the three hilly districts of Bangladesh – Rangamati, Khagrachari and Bandarban, which is a complete ban.

Reasons for issuing travel warnings:

Bangladesh is experiencing a socially unstable environment. Violent protests are held every Friday after Friday prayers for various demands, resulting in thousands of casualties.

Women are facing harassment and abuse when they travel alone. Therefore, women have been instructed to avoid traveling alone. In particular, they have been prohibited from going to the police station alone.

Bangladesh is prone to terrorist attacks. Government offices, places of worship, airports, and educational institutions, as well as foreigners, could be targets of such attacks.

Rape, organized theft and robbery, as well as kidnapping, have also increased across the country. Religious minorities, including Hindus, Buddhists, and Christians, as well as secular people, are being targeted.

In this regard, security analyst Aminul Haque Palash said, “Those who still do not understand the impact of issuing such instructions should know that this is how the Western world defines fundamentalist terrorist states. The Yunus monster who emerged from Aladdin’s lamp has brought the country to this state in one year.”

“Whether you will watch the country turn into a fundamentalist state before your eyes or raise your voice from your own position against this traitor Yunus Gong, the decision is yours,” he said.
