49 Minority Teachers Resign Amid Bangladesh Unrest
News summary

Following the ouster of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on August 5, at least 49 teachers from minority communities in Bangladesh were forced to resign due to increasing violence and unrest. The Bangladesh Chhatra Oikya Parishad reported that these educators faced physical assaults amid widespread violence against religious and ethnic minorities, which included looting, assaults on women, vandalism of temples, and arson attacks. Although 19 of the resigned teachers have been reinstated, the situation remains dire, with over 205 reported incidents of attacks on minority communities across 52 districts since Hasina's departure. The violence, which has left more than 600 dead since the anti-quota protests began in mid-July, has prompted interim Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus to pledge efforts towards fostering interfaith harmony. Reports indicate that Hindu families faced violence at 278 locations in 48 districts during the turmoil. The international community, including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has expressed support for Bangladesh's stability amidst the unrest.
