A group of Bangladeshi-Americans staged a protest in Washington, DC, condemning Bangladesh’s Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus for the ongoing attacks on minority Hindu communities in the country. The demonstration took place ahead of the scheduled meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump.
Holding placards and chanting slogans, the protesters called for justice and urged the international community to take note of the deteriorating security situation in Bangladesh. “We are here to support Bangladesh and demand justice. What is happening in our country is alarming—people are being killed, and there is no security for the minority communities,” said one protester.
