The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) noted in 2020 that "amidst the Bangladeshi governments' broader crackdown on civil rights, freedom of religion or belief continues to be impacted, especially for the country's religious minorities--including Hindus, Buddhists, Christians, and Ahmadi Muslims."
