 Islamists Threaten to Slaughter

Hindus: Rally in Bangladesh Targets

ISKCON Devotees

In a shocking display of hostility, a rally led by Islamist groups in Rangunia, Bangladesh, on the night of November 26, 2024, openly called for the slaughter of Hindus, specifically targeting ISKCON devotees. Chanting slogans such as “Catch ISKCON one by one, slaughter them,” the participants issued explicit threats against the minority Hindu community.

Backdrop of ISKON’s history:

The incident comes against the backdrop of ISKCON’s history of humanitarian work in the region, including providing food aid to many during devastating floods. The attack has sparked outrage among Hindu communities and human  rights advocates, who condemn the targeting of a peaceful religious minority.

Critics argue this reflects a broader pattern of persecution against Hindus in Bangladesh, raising concerns about their safety and the government’s inability to curb such acts of intimidation. Many have also pointed out the silence of international media and organizations in addressing these alarming developments.

Call for protecting minorities:

The situation has reignited calls for stronger protections for minorities and accountability for those inciting violence in the region.
