BANGLADESH: Unrest Sparks New Violence Against Christians


Political violence has escalated in Bangladesh, resulting in the resignation of Prime Minister Sheik Hasina and at least 95 deaths on a single day (4 Aug) in the capital city, Dhaka. Front-Line Workers report increased targeted attacks against Christians as a result. In one case, a church was attacked by an armed crowd that damaged vehicles and tried to set fire to the building early one morning. According to another report, several individual Christians in a northern district were attacked. Front-Line Workers request prayer for peace in Bangladesh and for the protection of Christian brothers and sisters who have been targeted by extremist groups taking advantage of the country’s chaos.
