UN report details mob violence against Hindus during Bangladesh unrest

A UN report on violence in Bangladesh during mid-2024 highlights that Hindus, a minority group, faced violent mob attacks amid political unrest. The violence followed student protests that led to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fleeing to India. The report details incidents of arson and attacks on Hindu homes and places of worship. It states that the previous government lost control, resulting in retaliatory violence against perceived political opponents, including Hindus. The interim government, led by Md Yunus, invited the UN for an independent investigation. The report indicates serious human rights violations occurred under Hasina's administration, including extrajudicial killings and arbitrary arrests.
