general election of December last year. These incidents have been
occurring despite Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's promise to ensure the
safety and security of the members of the minority communities in the
country, according to the rights group.

present government in taking any initiative in annulling the Vested
Property Act. Vast properties of the tens of thousands of members of the
minority communities especially Hindu community were grabbed by
influential political leaders and their henchmen taking full advantage
of the controversial Vested Property Act, according to the group.

of the Sutrapur police station knew the kidnappers and the persons who
demolished the temple they refrained from taking punitive measures
against the wrong doers for mysterious reasons.
