Over couple of decades minorities of Bangladesh and former East Pakistan were hounded, oppressed and slaughtered. There number declined from 37% to 29% in 20 years of Pakistani rule. After the independence, the population of minorities has further declined from 29% to 14%. Some argued the number being 16%.
This trend of population declination clearly depicts that minorities are in brink at Bangladesh. Since 1980 until now hundreds of thousands of minorities are forced to evict Bangladesh, their land being forcefully occupied by forces opposing minority existence in Bangladesh and thousands of minority women are gang raped without mercy.
We understand that some elements opposing the very existence of minorities in Bangladesh certainly will resist such claim by HRCBM. Henceforth we are furnishing video interviews of minority victims both from past and present.
The video you are about to see will depict the nature of atrocities and human rights abuses against minorities in Bangladesh
