Following the recent mass uprising in Bangladesh that led to the resignation and fleeing of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, concerns have been raised for the safety of minority Hindus in the country. The upheaval has resulted in retaliatory attacks against supporters and associates of Hasina, with little resistance from authorities.
Members of the Hindu minority, who traditionally backed the Awami League party, have been particularly vulnerable to violence due to their political affiliations and historical instances of targeting during previous upheavals.
