A Bangladesh court denied bail to Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das, spokesperson of Sammilit Sanatan Jagran Jote, charged with sedition. Arrested on November 25 near Dhaka’s Hazrat Shahjalal Airport, Das faces allegations of raising a saffron flag above Bangladesh’s national flag in Chittagong on October 25. The Chattogram court rejected his plea after a 30-minute hearing amid heavy security. Protests erupted, with violent clashes leaving one lawyer dead. ISKCON Kolkata’s VP Radha Raman Das called the decision "sad," urging justice. Das, suffering from multiple health issues, claims charges are fabricated. Global calls for his release persist.
