HAF (Hindu American Foundation)
Over the last year, there have been four waves of Islamist militant violence targeting Bangladesh’s Hindu
religious minority population, which makes up approximately 10% of the country’s population (about 14
million people). The most recent violence began last Friday, October 15th as Hindus mark the beginning
of the holiday Durga Puja. The attacks on Hindu villages, destruction of homes and religious sites, and the
violent videos of Hindus being slaughtered in the streets continues today.
The Hindu American Foundation (HAF) is calling on the Hindu American community and all human
rights activists of all backgrounds and religions to take action now!
Send the letter now to your Senators and Representative in Congress and urge them to make a
statement condemning the violent attacks against Hindus in Bangladesh, and call on the Bangladesh
government to protect religious minorities, shut down religious extremist group and bring the
perpetrators responsible to justice.
