Bangladesh's Hindu minority in fear as attacks rise and election nears
Attacks on Bangladesh’s Hindu minority have surged since the ouster of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in an uprising in 2024. The violence has deepened fears about their place in the Muslim-majority nation ahead of a consequential election on Feb. 12. Human rights groups say homes, temples and businesses have been targeted in a campaign of violence and intimidation that reflects deepening polarization, the re-emergence of Islamists and a widening culture of impunity. Community leaders warn that the climate of fear could suppress minority participation in the vote. While the interim government has condemned the attacks and promised protection, critics say accountability has been limited.
