Members of the Hindu community today (10 August) staged a demonstration in Shahbagh for the second day demanding safety and protesting alleged attacks on their homes and temples in various districts across the country following the fall of the AL government.
Thousands of protesters, including students and members of the Hindu community, blocked the Shahbagh intersection since around 3:00pm, carrying banners and posters.

Their banners read “None of us are free until all of us are free,”, “We will not leave this country…#Alleyesonminorities,”, “#SaveBangladeshiHindus”.
The protesters urged the newly-formed interim government to implement increased security measures for Hindus across the country.
They vowed to continue their protests until immediate measures are taken to end the persecution of Hindus.
