Bangladesh: Minorities Face Systematic Oppression After Hasina's Fall

• Post-August 2024, Bangladesh saw over 2,400 incidents of violence against religious and ethnic minorities.
• Interim government under Muhammad Yunus failed to protect minorities, overseeing systematic persecution and institutional neglect.
• Widespread attacks (Aug 4-20, 2024) included 2,010 incidents, 230 deaths, destruction of 69 religious sites, and sexual assaults.
• Minority educators and public servants faced forced resignations; ethnic Jumma communities in CHT and Ahmadiyya Muslims also targeted.
• Despite international condemnation from Amnesty, HRW, USCIRF, and India, the interim government denies systematic persecution.

Why It Matters: Bangladesh's minorities face systematic oppression and violence under the interim government, betraying liberation's promise.
