The Human Rights Congress for Bangladesh Minority (HRCBM) is unveiling an exhibition on Bangladesh titled “Asru (Tears)”, which is co-sponsored by the Foundation Against Continuing Terrorism (FACT).
The exhibition is to be shown to the public at the Rayburn Foyer in the Rayburn Building in Washington D.C. on July 30 and July 31, 2007. It is our privilege to invite you to attend the reception meeting from 4:30 PM –7:30 PM on July 30, 2007 at the aforesaid venue. Your kind presence for a discussion in this event on the 30th as well as 31st July will give hope to the minorities in Bangladesh. We are expecting presence of a large number of lawmakers from both the House and the Senate, diplomats, foreign delegates including many prominent heads of organizations at the event.
Terrorism in Bangladesh has been going on for decades. The suffering of the Bangladeshi people, minorities in particular, continue even today. Rape and murder, as weapons of genocide, have been used extensively against the minorities in Bangladesh. This comprehensive exhibit will encompass the history of Bangladesh and a chronological depiction of its culture and religion in perspective. The exhibition will be shown at different parts of the country.
Thank you very much for your kind support and we look forward to welcome you at the event.
With best regards,
