[ News Drum ] Human rights abuses inflicted on Bangladeshi Hindus, Ahmadiyya Muslims during last year’s protests: UN

The UN Human Rights Office released a report detailing human rights abuses inflicted on Bangladeshi Hindus, Ahmadiyya Muslims, and indigenous communities during last year’s anti-discrimination protests. The report highlights that Bangladesh’s former government, security and intelligence services, and violent elements associated with the Awami League party systematically engaged in serious human rights violations. These violations included vandalism, looting, arson, physical threats, and retaliatory killings, especially in areas perceived to be sympathetic to the Awami League. The report also documents instances of revenge violence targeting Awami League officials, supporters, police, and media as the former government lost control. Despite some arrests, many perpetrators of these acts still enjoy impunity. The violence led to significant financial losses and a pervasive sense of insecurity among affected communities.
