Queens-based non-profit the Arts4All Foundation joined U.S. Rep. Shri Thanedar of Michigan to hold a “Peace For All Rally” at the US Capitol Wednesday, calling for an end to violence, atrocities and persecution of vulnerable, indigenous and minority populations in Bangladesh.
Community leaders of various backgrounds gathered outside the Capitol Building Wednesday, Dec. 18, to call on Congress to take action against rising violence in Bangladesh and prevent the genocide, human rights violations and displacement of minorities in Bangladesh, which has seen a rise in religious extremism and targeted attacks on minority religions since July.
