Opposition parties led by the Liberte Party plan to protest at Sukhbaatar Square in Ulanbaatar Jan. 11. Organizers are denouncing the ruling coalition over several issues pertaining to economic, environmental, and traffic management policies. Anti-government rallies in recent years have seen high turnouts of several thousand people and sporadic altercations between activists and police. Attendees may hold unannounced marches towards key government buildings in the vicinity, including the Government Palace, as well as residences and offices of the president and prime minister. Additional gatherings, including counter-protests by pro-government groups, may also occur at nearby public squares, parks, and thoroughfares.

Authorities typically heighten security in the capital city ahead of planned demonstrations. Checkpoints at entry points of Ulanbaatar, vehicle and personnel checks, gathering bans, and localized public movement restrictions in key areas are possible. Clashes may occur, especially if protesters attempt to breach security cordons, defy any official bans, or confront rival groups. Violence may also break out if police attempt to carry out mass arrests. Temporary road closures, curtailment of public transport services, and diversions are likely to affect access roads to the main rally site. Increased congestion on roadways and public buses is probable as attendees arrive at and leave the venue. Localized business closures may occur.
