Organisers of the London protest submitted a memorandum to Prime Minister Keir Starmer outlining four key demands over alleged persecution of minorities in Bangladesh. These include suspending UK aid and trade, initiating parliamentary debate, pursuing Magnitsky-style sanctions against perpetrators, and appointing a UK special envoy to monitor the situation. The Bangladesh Hindu Association stressed the protest was not against any nation or faith but against injustice. Organisers said continued advocacy and international pressure are essential to protect minority communities and ensure accountability. (PC: Reuters)
