Bangladeshi Diaspora Protests Against Muhammad Yunus Outside UN Over Minority Atrocities
Members of the Bangladeshi diaspora gathered outside the United Nations headquarters in New York on Friday to protest against Muhammad Yunus, the interim Chief Adviser of Bangladesh. Demonstrators accused Yunus of overseeing a surge in atrocities against religious minorities since assuming office after the ouster of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in August 2024.
Protesters shouted slogans such as “Yunus is Pakistani. Go back to Pakistan,” reflecting deep anger among the diaspora community and supporters of Hasina. The demonstration highlighted ongoing unrest in Bangladesh, where human rights activists claim minorities, especially Hindus, Buddhists, and Christians, have faced escalating violence.
According to participants, millions of people have been forced to flee Bangladesh since August 5, 2024, following the regime change. Protesters demanded that Yunus step down and called for democratic elections. They also urged the release of religious leader Chinmoy Krishna Das, who they allege has been unlawfully detained under Yunus’ administration.
Inside the UN, Muhammad Yunus addressed world leaders, emphasizing Bangladesh’s progress and highlighting the significant contributions of migrant workers to both Bangladesh and host nations. He called on countries to ensure the protection and welfare of migrant communities.
The protest outside the United Nations underscores the continuing discontent among the Bangladeshi diaspora and growing international attention to the human rights situation in Bangladesh under the interim government.
