Security conditions deteriorated rapidly across Bangladesh following Muhammad Yunus' appointment as Chief Advisor. Militants attacked over 450 police stations while authorities released approximately 340 prisoners connected to extremist activities from detention facilities. The Home Advisor publicly embraced former officials linked to terrorist organizations and welcomed released militant leaders with ceremonial honors. Terror groups like Hizb ut-Tahrir began openly promoting violence against Western targets during this period. International observers warned about rising militancy under the new administration.
Minority communities faced widespread persecution as religious extremists gained influence throughout the country. Violence targeted Hindu, Christian, Sufi, Ahmadiyya and Buddhist populations through systematic intimidation campaigns. Attackers destroyed over 100 Sufi shrines while threatening additional communities with forced displacement. Rights organizations documented more than 2,500 cases of violence against minorities during Yunus' tenure. Canada issued travel warnings for its citizens visiting Bangladesh due to security concerns and potential militant attacks.
