Das was arrested along with 18 others on charges of sedition inBangladeshi hindus November last year.
The Bangladesh High court on Wednesday granted bail to former ISKCON head Chinmoy Das, according to Bangladesh바카라™s The Daily Star. Das was arrested along with 18 others on charges of sedition in November last year. The case was related to Das and his supporters hoisting a saffron flag over the Bangladesh national flag during the October 25 rally in Laldighi Maidan in Chattogram.
The leader was presented before the court on Tuesday where his release was denied. The judgement had sparked widespread controversy demanding his immediate release. The priest바카라™s lawyer, Prolad Deb Nath asserted that his client will be released from custody owing to the High court바카라™s directive unless the Supreme Court바카라™s Appellate Division puts a stay on the high court바카라™s ruling.
The case is ongoing amid the strenuous ties between India and Bangladesh. Bangladesh is unhappy with India for sheltering Sheikh Hasina whereas India has criticised Bangladesh for its treatment of the Hindu-minority in the nation.
Chinmoy Das serves as a spokesperson to the Bangladesh Sommilita Sanatan Jagran Jot, a group advocating for minority rights in the nation. He gained popularity for conducting rallies during the minority-rights violations amidst the political unrest in the country last year. He has been calling for the enactment of a minority protection law, creation of a dedicated ministry for minority affairs and the establishment of special tribunals to expedite cases of minority persecution.
