The Global Human Rights Defence (ghrd) and Research and Empowerment Organization (REO) have been organizing a global campaign aimed at protecting the human rights of Bangladesh’s minority population. They work to prevent discrimination, uphold political freedom, protect against inhumane conduct, and bring offenders to justice. REO initiates investigations, coordinates with victims and their families, collects evidence, and holds violators accountable. They demand the government and authorities to end abusive practices and respect international human rights laws. After Bangladesh’s independence from Pakistan, Hindu minorities faced persecution from religious extremists, including the Pakistani Army, who believed Hindus were against Pakistan.
