Bangladesh High Court Grants Bail To Hindu Monk Chinmoy Krishna Das After Five Months

The Bangladesh High Court has granted bail to Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das, a former ISKCON leader, after five months in jail on sedition charges. His arrest on November 25, 2024, sparked uproar and concerns about judicial harassment.

Das was accused of insulting the national flag of Bangladesh, leading to his detention without trial. His bail plea was initially rejected by lower courts, but after multiple appeals, the High Court ruled in his favor.

His release is expected soon, unless the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court intervenes. The case has drawn international attention, with concerns over minority rights in Bangladesh.
