Protect Bangladesh minorities from systematic persecution and ongoing atrocities
Uphold the religious freedom, protect the minorities, bring criminals to justice and deliver exemplary punishment to those who committed crimes against minorities in Bangladesh.
Why is this important?
Immediately after January 5th , 2014 election in Bangladesh, many Bangladeshi Hindus Minorities are under attack- women raped, houses set on fire, place of worship burned or vandalized and livelihood taken away. As reported in the news and social media, most of the cases Jamaat-e-Islami of Bangladesh and Bangladesh Nationalist Party instigated the violence.
