Minority Rights in Peril as Bangladesh Targets Its Hindus Protests rocked Dhaka over the weekend after the arrest of Haridas Chandra Tarani Das, a young Hindu man accused of building an 81 foot Lord Ram statue.
The allegations of fabricated money laundering charges to halt construction and subsequent arrest have left many wondering if this is merely another instance of harassment or part of a broader pattern of persecution.
The incident comes amidst growing concerns over the safety of minorities in Bangladesh, particularly Hindus who are increasingly facing violence and intimidation.
