Bangladesh: Advocate Ramen Roy, the lawyer who is defending Hindu priest Chinmoy Krishna Das, has been brutally attacked in Bangladesh and is in the ICU, ISKCON Kolkata spokesperson Radharamn Das claimed on Monday.

After the formation of the interim government headed by Muhammad Yunus, minorities in Bangladesh, especially Hindus, have come under severe attack by Islamist extremists in the country.

Chinmoy Krishna Das, spokesperson for the Bangladesh Sommilito Sanatan Jagaran Jot coalition, faces sedition charges for allegedly disrespecting the national flag during a rally.

Chinmoy Krishna Das, a Hindu monk and leader of Sammilita Sanatani Jote, was arrested in Bangladesh, triggering protests. India urged authorities to ensure the safety of minorities amid rising tensions.

Iskcon spokesperson Radharamn Das said on Monday that Advocate Ramen Roy, who had represented Bangladeshi Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Prabhu in a legal case, was brutally assaulted in Bangladesh and is now hospitalised in critical condition.

Another Hindu priest and ISKCON member, Shyam Das Prabhu, has been arrested in Chattogram, Bangladesh, just days after the detention of spiritual leader Chinmoy Krishna Das on sedition charges. India has urged Bangladesh to ensure the protection of its minorities and fair judicial processes.

Protesters demand release of ISKCON priest in Bangladesh, highlighting attacks on minority Hindus, drawing political criticism and calls for action.

On December 2, Bangladeshi Hindus in Canada organized a protest over the arrest of ISKCON priest Chinmoy Krishna Das in Bangladesh. The arrest was made on charges of sedition after Das allegedly raised a flag on a stand displaying Bangladesh’s national flag.
