Bangladesh’s impunity crisis: 2,442 attacks, few convictions
After Sheikh Hasina's ouster in August 2024, minorities in Bangladesh faced over 2,400 attacks, including killings, assaults, and temple vandalism. Yet police filed just 62 cases, with minimal convictions. Rights groups warn that impunity emboldens perpetrators, erodes trust in justice, and silences victims, as the interim government's 'zero tolerance' pledge remains largely unfulfilled.
