Canadian Protesters Demand Action Against Minority Persecution in Bangladesh

  • Over a thousand protesters gathered in Toronto, organized by the Bangladeshi-origin Hindu community.
  • Demonstrators urged international pressure to stop violence against minorities in Bangladesh.
  • Protests are part of a broader movement across Canada, with events in Calgary, Hamilton, and Montreal.

Toronto recently witnessed a significant protest organized by the Bangladeshi-origin Hindu community and their allies, drawing attention to the ongoing persecution of minorities in Bangladesh.

The protest, supported by organizations like the Coalition of Hindus of North America (CoHNA) and the Canadian Hindu Chamber of Commerce (CHCC), highlighted the devastation faced by Hindu-owned businesses and communities in Bangladesh.

Canadian Demonstrators Rally Against Minority Persecution in Bangladesh

In a show of solidarity with the persecuted minorities in Bangladesh, over a thousand protesters, primarily from the Bangladeshi-origin Hindu community, gathered in Toronto. The protest, held at Nathan Phillips Square, was organized to raise awareness of the atrocities being committed against these communities following the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government.

Among the demands made during the protest was a call for the Canadian government to exert diplomatic pressure on the interim Bangladeshi government led by Muhammad Yunus. Protesters emphasized the need for global recognition of the persecution faced by Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh, urging Canada to take a leading role in condemning these actions and offering refuge to those affected.

Support for the protest extended beyond the Bangladeshi Hindu community, with organizations like the Coalition of Hindus of North America (CoHNA) and the Canadian Hindu Chamber of Commerce (CHCC) joining the cause. These groups highlighted the widespread destruction of Hindu-owned businesses and the displacement of communities, calling for immediate measures to protect those at risk. The protest in Toronto was part of a larger movement, with similar demonstrations occurring in Calgary, Hamilton, and Montreal.

The movement is set to continue with further protests planned across Canada, including another significant gathering in Toronto at the Shaheed Minar in Scarborough. The organizers have vowed to persist in their efforts until their demands for justice and protection of minorities in Bangladesh are met, underscoring the urgency of the situation and the need for sustained international attention.

The ongoing protests across Canada underscore the deep concern for minority rights in Bangladesh and the need for immediate international action. As demonstrations continue, the message is clear: global intervention is critical to stopping the violence and ensuring the safety and dignity of all communities in Bangladesh.

“We want the Canadian government to help put international pressure to stop the cleansing of Hindus and restoration of democracy in Bangladesh, citizen’s rights and law and order.” – Niranjan Sarker
