Hindu Monk Chinmoy Krishna Das Denied Bail Amid Health Concerns in Bangladesh
Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das has been jailed in Bangladesh for over two years, with repeated bail appeals denied despite his deteriorating health and serious liver ailments.

His lawyer highlighted Das's emotional distress and lack of proper medical care. The case has drawn attention to the challenges faced by Hindus in Bangladesh, reflecting broader concerns about their security and rights.
