Paris, France; August 8, 2024— JusticeMakers Bangladesh in France (JMBF) strongly condemns and protests against the recent wave of violent attacks against religious minorities across Bangladesh, as reported in multiple sources. These incidents, which have targeted homes, places of worship, and businesses belonging to Hindu, Ahmadiyya, and other minority communities, represent a grave breach of human rights and a serious threat to the principles of tolerance and coexistence.
We express our deepest concern over the reports of widespread vandalism, killing, arson, looting, and physical assault. The attacks, which have led to significant property damage, personal injuries, and the displacement of innocent individuals, must be met with the strongest possible response from national and international authorities.
