BANGLADESH: A self-proclaimed spiritual leader was beaten to death by a mob in Bangladesh after an old video resurfaced showing controversial remarks about the Quran. The incident occurred in Kushtia district, where hundreds gathered and attacked his residence despite efforts by authorities to control the situation. The killing reflects a broader rise in religious intolerance and mob violence following the 2024 political upheaval that led to the fall of Sheikh Hasina. Reports indicate over 150 people have been killed in mob-related incidents since then. Authorities have launched an investigation, but the incident underscores growing concerns about public safety, extremism, and the rule of law.
Pray for the LORD’s peace to overcome hatred and violence in Bangladesh. Pray that love and understanding will replace anger and division among communities. (The Holy Bible, John 13:34).
Pray for the LORD’s transformation in hearts filled with anger and intolerance. Pray that He will bring conviction, repentance, and unity among people. (The Holy Bible, Ezekiel 36:26).
