A Cry for Humanity – End the Persecution of Minorities in Bangladesh
Unite to End Hate Crimes in Bangladesh – Restore Peace, Protect Minorities, and Revive the Nation’s Legacy of Harmony
The Crisis Unfolds
In August 2024, with the change of government in Bangladesh, waves of violence have erupted against minority communities. What we are witnessing is a humanitarian crisis of harrowing proportions. The nation that once stood for liberation and inclusion in 1971, where minorities comprised 25% of the population, now shows a grim reality — they make up less than 8% today.
The systematic persecution, forced conversions under duress, and targeted violence are not isolated incidents. These are orchestrated terror campaigns, threatening not just the fabric of Bangladesh but the principles of human dignity and peace.
We must stand firm and speak up whenever adharma or unrighteousness takes place. Watching injustice being inflicted on innocent and helpless people is equal to committing a crime.

Recent Atrocities – A Glimpse into the Injustice
Persecution of ISKCON
ISKCON, a global organization known for its peaceful service and humanitarian work, has faced unprecedented attacks.
- Sri Chinmoy Krishna Das, a senior ISKCON leader, has been imprisoned under baseless sedition charges.
- Lawyers are terrorized into silence; one was reportedly murdered by radical groups for defending the innocent.
- Monks bringing vegetarian food to Sri Chinmoy were arrested — a blatant human rights violation.
Violence and Destruction
- Temples desecrated, animals like cows and bulls slaughtered, and ISKCON centers demolished.
- Bank accounts of ISKCON have been frozen to cripple their operations.
- Safe passage for women, children, and monks has been denied.
Widespread Vandalism
- Temples, Churches, and Buddhist shrines vandalized and razed to the ground.
- Homes and shops belonging to Hindus and other minorities are being looted and destroyed.
Horrors Against Women and Children
- There are reports of rape, murder, and forced religious conversions.
- Videos on social media show food being offered only in exchange for conversion - a cruel barter for survival.
A Censored Crisis
The full extent of this violence remains hidden from global eyes. Media censorship ensures that these atrocities are swept under the rug. But make no mistake — this is not just a Hindu issue, this is a human rights crisis.
The world cannot stay silent. If we turn away, we abandon humanity itself.
A Wake-Up call!
In this urgent message, Mohanji, a global humanitarian leader addresses the escalating atrocities against minorities in Bangladesh which highlights the need for unity, justice, and the protection of human rights, urging all citizens to raise their voices and stand against hate.
A Call for Action – Unite for Peace
We must stand for the voiceless. We must demand justice for those who cannot defend themselves.
To World Leaders: Condemn these crimes against humanity. Demand accountability from the Bangladesh government.
To Faith Leaders: Raise your voice beyond borders and religions. Humanity must come first.
To Global Citizens: Share, speak out, and support the call for peace. Silence makes us complicit.
We cannot allow hatred to go unchecked. Religions should inspire peace, not anarchy. Violence will only breed more violence. The seeds we sow today will determine the world of tomorrow.
Humanity First, Always
The government of Bangladesh must take immediate responsibility for protecting minorities. This 50-year-old nation was founded on principles of freedom and equality. It is time to honor that legacy.

Let’s unite for peace. Let’s fight hatred with solidarity.
Raise your voice. Share the truth. Demand justice.
“Peace for All. Justice for All. Humanity Above All.”
