International reactions to the deaths of two Bangladeshis last week highlight a debate over selective Western outrage on human rights. While the killing of student leader Sharif Osman Hadi drew swift condemnation from the US and European countries, the lynching of Hindu factory worker Dipu Chandra Das for alleged blasphemy received minimal international attention, with only India publicly protesting. Analysts note this disparity risks obscuring attacks on minorities, though Bangladesh's interim administration suggests the incident should not be linked to broader minority safety.
