London Rally Denounces Violence Against Hindus in Bangladesh as Police Curb Brief Counter-Protest

Diaspora groups pressed the Yunus interim administration for minority protections during a London rally policed to prevent clashes.

Overview

  • Bengali Hindu Adarsha Sangha (BHAS) UK led a Justice for Hindus demonstration outside the Bangladesh High Commission, urging investigations and safety guarantees for minorities.
  • A small group of Khalistani supporters arrived during the event, chanted slogans, and briefly confronted protesters before police kept the groups apart.
  • The protest followed the lynching and immolation of Dipu Chandra Das, which Bangladeshi authorities said stemmed from an unfounded blasphemy claim, with about 12 arrests reported.
  • Local media also reported the beating death of Amrit Mandal days later, citing a regional police official on the incident in Kalimohor Union.
  • India’s foreign ministry and the UN voiced concern over minority safety as HRCBM cited at least 71 blasphemy-linked incidents since June, while media claims of ISI-linked Khalistani proxies remain unverified.
