**Top 5 dangerous places for Buddhists (persecution/violence reports):**
1. China (Tibet: severe government controls on monasteries, reeducation of monks/nuns, bans on Dalai Lama devotion, surveillance/destruction of sites)
2. Bangladesh (Chittagong Hill Tracts: land grabs, temple attacks/vandalism, massacres by settlers/security forces, ongoing indigenous Jumma violence)
3. Afghanistan (Taliban restrictions on non-Muslims, historical site destruction e.g. Bamiyan)
4. Pakistan (blasphemy law misuse, discrimination/attacks on small minority communities)
5. Thailand (southern provinces: Muslim insurgency targeting Buddhist monks, temples, civilians)
Which group next (Jains/Christians/etc.)?

#Bangladesh should immediately review and overturn the unjust sentence of Michael Chakma, an Indigenous rights & political activist, to 8 years in prison. Michael was forcibly disappeared in DGFI’s notorious secret detention site for 5 years and tortured under the previous government. The Interim Gov’t and @ChiefAdviserGoB must protect victims of disappearances and end the weaponization of criminal laws to silence peaceful dissent.

In the hills of Bangladesh, the indigenous people are enduring unimaginable suffering. Just a few days ago, an indigenous teenage girl was raped. In the wake of this atrocity, the hill people took to the streets demanding justice. Those who raised their voices were met with bullets, leaving them bloodied by the soldiers. A helpless daughter clings to the arms of a helpless father.
Meanwhile, the Bengali settlers from the plains are seizing the hills, ravaging the land, and committing acts of rape and murder against the hill people with impunity. Where can the hill people seek justice? No government has ever delivered it. And now, the one who sits on the country’s throne—a ruthless usurer—sits there blindfolded, indifferent to their cries.

A deliberately circulated video on social media claims that terrorists are openly roaming with weapons in Ruma, Bandarban, in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. The footage shows several armed individuals in military uniforms and has been shared across platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube. However, investigation proves that it is not from Ruma but rather from the Philippine armed group Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). The identical video was found on July 29 on a YouTube channel called Shooter Channel under the title “Philippines” and was also posted on July 31 from a Facebook account named Basilan Biaf, which is operated from the Philippines. Video analysis shows that the rectangular and circular patches on the armed individuals’ uniforms match the official MILF insignia.
All evidence makes it clear — a video of the Philippine MILF has been falsely promoted as a scene from Bandarban. This type of disinformation is essentially part of a planned propaganda campaign by the banned, ousted Awami League, aimed at questioning the interim government and the Bangladesh Army. In reality, the situation in the hills is now largely under army control; security conditions are better than at any previous time. Terrorist groups are now only able to conduct sporadic attacks and operate limited camps in remote areas. Meanwhile, regular army operations continue to seize terrorist camps and recover weapons and ammunition.

They have actually occupied many places of the indigenous people with the help of the Bangladesh government and the army.

গতকালকের আদিবাসীদের ওপর হামলার বিচারের দাবিতে আজকের মিছিলে পুলিশ ন্যাক্কারজনক হামলা চালিয়েছে। আজকেও অনেকে মারাত্মকভাবে আহত। এই নিষ্পেষণের বিরুদ্ধে তীব্র নিন্দা ও ক্ষোভ জানাই।
আদিবাসীদের সাংবিধানিক স্বীকৃতি হবে।
হামলাকারীদের বিচার করতে হবে।

I strongly condemn the barbaric violence against Hindus, Christians, and other minorities who are getting attacked and looted by mobs in Bangladesh, which remains in a total state of chaos.
It would have never happened on my watch. Kamala and Joe have ignored Hindus across the world and in America. They have been a disaster from Israel to Ukraine to our own Southern Border, but we will Make America Strong Again and bring back Peace through Strength!
We will also protect Hindu Americans against the anti-religion agenda of the radical left. We will fight for your freedom. Under my administration, we will also strengthen our great partnership with India and my good friend, Prime Minister Modi.
Kamala Harris will destroy your small businesses with more regulations and higher taxes. By contrast, I cut taxes, cut regulations, unleashed American energy, and built the greatest economy in history. We will do it again, bigger and better than ever before—and we will Make America Great Again.
Also, Happy Diwali to All. I hope the Festival of Lights leads to the Victory of Good over Evil!
