Minority groups in Bangladesh on Monday staged protests in Dhaka, calling out the interim government for failing to prevent persecution of minorities. Das, a garment factory worker in central Mymensingh city, was dragged out of his workplace by a mob and lynched on Thursday. The incident triggered widespread protests by factory workers, students, and rights groups, while India expressed concerns. "He (Muhammad Yunus) claims he will build a humane Bangladesh, but in reality, he is an inhumane chief adviser," joint coordinator of the Minority Unity Front Manindra Kumar Nath told the protesters in front of Jatiya Press Club. The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested 10 suspects in connection with Das’ lynching, while police later detained two more.
