										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A court in Bangladesh announced on Monday that two men accused of promoting communal hate on social media have acknowledged their crimes. After an alleged blasphemous remark on social media, violence against Bangladesh&#8217;s minority Hindu community erupted on October 13 during the Durga Puja celebrations. For a few days, the chaos remained and expanded to other sections of the country.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Around 70 Hindu homes were set ablaze in Rangpur, Pirganj sub-district, on October 17, according to authorities. Shaikat Mandal and his accomplice Rabiul Islam were accused of provoking the unrest in Rangpur by spreading communal animosity on social media. In a pre-trial hearing on Monday, they admitted to their crime.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Authorities claimed on Monday that an angry crowd damaged 66 houses and burned down 20 Hindu homes in Bangladesh, where ethnic tensions have been festering since the Durga Puja attacks. A social media post was the catalyst for the violence.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The arson incident, which took place late Sunday in a village in Rangpur district&#8217;s Pirganj Upazila, roughly 255 kilometers from Dhaka, was carried out by a crowd of around 100 persons, according to local media.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Assistant Police Superintendent Mohammad Kamruzzaman told reporters that the police raced to a fishermen&#8217;s area as tensions rose over a rumor that a young Hindu man from the village had &#8216;dishonored religion&#8217; in a Facebook post.</p>
