Sheikh Hasina Condemns Minority Attacks, Calls for Unity and Justice in Bangladesh

DHAKA – Awami League President and Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s daughter, Sheikh Hasina, has issued a strong statement condemning recent attacks on minorities in Bangladesh, highlighting the government’s failure to ensure safety and security for all communities. Below is her full statement as released:

Awami League President Sheikh Hasina’s Statement:

“A lawyer has been killed in Chittagong, strongly protesting this murder. Those involved in this murder should be found and punished quickly. Human rights have been grossly violated through this incident. A lawyer went to perform his professional duties, and those who beat him to death are terrorists. Whoever they are must be punished.

If the unconstitutionally usurped Yunus government fails to punish these terrorists, it will also face punishment for human rights violations. I appeal to the people of the country to stand united against this kind of terrorism and militancy. It is important to ensure the safety of the lives and property of the common people.

The current power grabbers are showing failure in all areas. Failing to control the essential liquid ‍root, also failing to provide security to human life. ‍Strongly condemn these tortures directly and indirectly on common people.

A top leader of the Sanatan religious community has been unjustly arrested; he must be released immediately. A temple has been burnt in Chittagong. Previously, mosques, shrines, churches, monasteries, and homes of the Ahmadiyya community were attacked, vandalized, looted, and set on fire. Religious freedom and security of life and property must be ensured for people of all communities.

After the killing of innumerable Awami League leaders and workers, students, and members of law enforcement, harassment is ongoing through assaults and arrests. I strongly condemn and protest these anti-Nayaraj ‍activities.”

Call for Accountability and National Unity:

Sheikh Hasina’s statement comes amidst increasing tensions and violence in Bangladesh, particularly targeting minority communities and political opponents. She has called for accountability and unity to combat terrorism, militancy, and rising insecurity.
