Description
Hundreds march in Bangladesh's capital Dhaka to demand protections for Hindus and other minorities who say they have suffered violence and threats since the ouster of autocratic premier Sheikh Hasina. Hasina's toppling in an August student-led uprising saw a spate of reprisals on Hindus, who were seen as disproportionate supporters of her regime.
The caretaker government that replaced her, led by Nobel laureate Muhummad Yunus, has acknowledged and condemned attacks on Hindus but said in many cases they were motivated by politics rather than religion.
