Look at this propaganda! This handle shared this video as an example of minority persecution.

In reality, both parties involved in this incident are Hindus. According to a local source, one party was illegally* occupying the land, while the other reclaimed their rightful ownership through arbitration. When they went to take possession of the land, the previous occupiers resisted—just a typical land dispute—leading to the scene in the video, where the rightful owner* was removing structures belonging to the previous occupier, and an elderly woman was resisting.

This video is now being falsely circulated as an example of communal minority persecution.

The Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council’s claims that the deaths of nine Hindu men in August were part of anti-Hindu “communal atrocities” in Bangladesh don’t hold up to scrutiny.

"None of the deaths bore clear signs of religious or sectarian motives."

The girl in the video was not harassed for her clothes; it was a parking-related dispute.

“Our priority was to reveal what the government was trying to hide,” says journalist @zymaislam about the work of her team at the @dailystarnews in the weeks that changed her country, #Bangladesh.
It is a must-read story by my friend @BenjaminBathke.

Echoing @tasneem : “If reforms are not done, and democratic government and human rights are not established or they are not the top priority of the interim and the coming government, we might see abductions, extrajudicial killings, again.” https://t.co/iZbvNqnbiJ

🇧🇩 GNI supports Bangladesh's new ICT Advisor’s decision to investigate the internet shutdowns that took place between July and August. We appeal the interim government to look for legislative changes that restrict illegal shutdowns in the future.
