Persecution against Christians continues in Bangladesh a year after the removal of the nation’s Prime Minister, and it is not likely to end unless constitutional guarantees of religious freedom are enforced, according to an Open Doors source.

Sheikh Hasina had been the nation’s longest serving leader but was removed from office and left the country just over a year ago following mass protests and escalating violence.

An Open Doors source close to the situation revealed that the period following her departure was extremely dangerous for believers, with many targeted for their perceived support for her administration, leading to virtually daily attacks and lootings.
