This Tripuri boy was one of 11 boys and girls taken from their families in January and February 2012 with the promise of education in boarding schools. The intermediaries then sold the boys and girls to the Islamic madrassas in Gazipur and Dhaka for forcible conversion. In June the desire to escape was kindled when imams announced that the boys would be circumcised and that if they were ready to give their lives for Islam they would be compensated with beheshta or heaven since no other religion could lead them there.

Bengali settlers forcibly convert an indigenous Buddhist girl in Mohalchari

Muslim settlers forcibly converted the girl to Islam and married to a Muslim settler with the help of the Officer—in-Charge of Mohalchari Police Station and the Upazilla Nirbahi 0ffier (UN0) of Mohalchari. Both the officers being Bengali Muslims, violated the marriage rules of the indigenous people.
