An Islamist group in Bangladesh has threatened nationwide rallies on May 23 if their demands are not met, including the abolition of the interim government’s reforms commission. They claim proposed reforms to religious inheritance laws insult the majority’s beliefs. The group also demands a ban on the Awami League, led by exiled former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, accusing her of past human rights violations. Since her ouster, Islamist groups have grown more active, raising concerns among minority communities who report increased intimidation.
Abba Father, please bring peace to Bangladesh. Help people talk to each other calmly and solve problems without violence. In Jesus’s name. Amen (The Bible, Matthew 5:9).
Lord, we ask that truth and fairness win in Bangladesh. Please make sure leaders do what is right, and help those who are being treated badly. Amen (The Bible, Isaiah 1:17).
