Lawyers refuse to represent Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das in Bangladesh; no bail granted

Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das, arrested in Bangladesh on sedition charges, faced a setback when lawyers refused to represent him at his bail hearing. The Chattogram court postponed the hearing to January 2 after local lawyers barred legal professionals from defending him. Advocate Ramen Roy, who traveled from Dhaka to represent Das, was attacked and critically injured by Islamists. ISKCON Kolkata urged the Bangladesh government to ensure the safety of lawyers. Reports of anti-Hindu violence in Bangladesh continue, with over 200 attacks on the minority community since the August political unrest .
