There has been a recent increase in violence against Christian minorities in Bangladesh. Awami League coming to power provided lots of hopes to the minority community but it seems like that as we predicted before the elections, there has been rather an increase in violence against minority communities.

Last week, a Christian pastor’s wife has been gang raped by Muslims. Later, the culprits were pressuring the media and the law agencies of blaming the whole incidence on local Christians and Hindus. They also robbed his house and took church money. Read more here. This is a surprising development and something we were not expecting. 

Then around the beginning of January local Muslims threatened to kill a Christian leader if he did not stop preaching God. Read it here. Furthermore, a family had to eject thier recently converted grandparents as local Muslims threatened to kill the grandchildren. 

We are strongly condemning such a dangerous tendency pursued by extremist Muslims in Bangladesh. Please contact your local MPs and inform your support and urgency regarding this issue.
