US urges Bangladesh to end violent crackdowns on peaceful protests
Bangladesh that it does not support government involvement in violent crackdowns on peaceful protests.
This statement follows a recent clash between members of the Hindu community and law enforcement forces in Bangladesh's port city of Chittagong, triggered by a Facebook post criticising ISKCON.
When questioned about the reported crackdowns on protests and the situation of minorities in Bangladesh, US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller reiterated that the US supports the right to peaceful protest and opposes any government engagement in violent responses to such demonstrations.
«I'm not going to speak to private diplomatic engagements from here, but we have made it clear to the government of Bangladesh, as we do to countries around the world, that we support the right to peaceful protest and that no government should engage in violent crackdowns on peaceful demonstrations,» Matthew Miller stated during a press briefing.
Earlier, India condemned the November 6 attacks on the Hindu community in Chittagong, Bangladesh, asserting that such actions would only heighten tensions within the community.
