Bangladesh Hindus Rally for Protection Amid Rising Attacks

News summary

Tens of thousands of Hindus in Bangladesh have rallied, demanding protection from increasing harassment and the dismissal of sedition charges against community leaders, following a surge in attacks against Hindus since the ousting of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The protests took place under heavy police surveillance in Chattogram, amid concerns about the influence of hardline Islamist groups and the interim government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus. Hindu activists have reported over 2,000 attacks since early August, alleging inadequate protection of their rights. Recent sedition charges against 19 individuals, including prominent Hindu leaders, have drawn criticism as politically motivated attempts to suppress minority rights. These events highlight the rising tensions and challenges faced by Hindu minorities in Bangladesh. The protests call for the establishment of a tribunal for minority protection and legislative measures to ensure their safety.
