UN-EU Human Rights Officer, Charlotte Zehrer from Global Human Rights Defence (GHRD), has drawn the urgent action of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) to tackle the growing precarious conditions faced by ethnic and religious minorities in Bangladesh.
She highlighted the ‘deeply concerning’ pattern of violence currently occurring in Bangladesh while speaking at the 60th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC).
She mentioned that indigenous people in the Chittagong Hill tracts, along with Hindu and Christian communities across Bangladesh, have been the primary targets of the attack.
She mentioned the instances of forced religious conversions affecting teenagers and young adults in the South Asian country.
“Ensuring justice for minorities in Bangladesh is not only a national responsibility but also an international obligation,” she was quoted as saying by ANI news agency.
