The Holey Artisan Bakery, known for its Western-style ambience, was a popular destination for foreigners residing in Dhaka, who often frequented the café for dinner and engaging conversations that would carry on until midnight. However, on this fateful day in 2016, the tranquillity of the establishment was abruptly shattered when a group of religious extremists stormed into the restaurant, mercilessly taking the lives of 22 innocent individuals.
