Tens of thousands of opposition supporters in Bangladesh have gathered in the capital Dhaka for a rally demanding the government step down.
Security in the city is tight and many people are staying off the streets.
The Bangladesh Nationalist Party, known as the BNP, has accused the government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina of ruining the economy and stifling democracy.
But Bangladesh’s government has denied it is cracking down on freedom of expression.
In an interview with the BBC, the country’s Foreign Minister Abdul Momen dismissed suggestions his government was stifling free speech, stressing that his nation, formed in 1971 after a war with Pakistan, was founded "to uphold democracy, human rights, and justice".
