Hundreds of hindu temples, homes attacked all across bangladesh

Islamic activists have attacked dozens of Hindu temples and hundreds of homes across Bangladesh since an Islamist leader was sentenced to death for war crimes last month, a Hindu group said on Wednesday. Bangladesh Puja Udjapon Parishad, a group which looks after Hindu temples, said 47 temples and at least 700 Hindu houses had either been torched or vandalised since the verdict against Delwar Hossain Sayedee, vice-president of the country’s largest Islamic party Jamaat-e-Islami, who was sentenced to hang on 28 February for crimes in 1971.
