Bangladeshi Forces Crack Down on Hindus After Derogatory Facebook Post on ISKCON Sparks Unrest in Chittagong, Taslima Nasreen Shares Shocking Videos

In Bangladesh’s Chittagong, tensions flared on November 5 after Osman Ali, a Jamat-e-Islami member, posted derogatory comments about Hinduism and ISKCON on Facebook, sparking protests by the Hindu community outside his shop. The protests escalated into violent confrontations with Bangladeshi security forces, and the Bangladesh Army was deployed to restore order in Hazari Gali, a historically Hindu-majority area. Exiled Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasreen shared disturbing footage on X (formerly Twitter), showing security forces clashing with civilians, chasing protesters, and using batons. Prothom Alo reported that blank rounds were fired to disperse the crowd, and CCTV cameras were dismantled by authorities to control documentation of the events. Nine officers were injured, including one with acid burns, with security forces filing charges against 582 individuals and arresting 49. Hindu leaders claim the authorities indiscriminately targeted Hindu residents, despite both Hindus and Muslims being involved. Hazari Gali remains under military surveillance, and residents face restricted movement due to the ongoing crackdown. Donald Trump Condemns Violence Against Hindus in Bangladesh in His Diwali 2024 Message, Vows To Strengthen Ties With India and ‘Good Friend’ PM Narendra Modi.
