Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, a prominent ISKCON leader in Bangladesh, was arrested on November 25 for allegedly disrespecting the Bangladesh flag during an October rally in Chittagong. Charged with sedition alongside 18 others, his bail was denied on November 26. Known for championing minority rights, Brahmachari rose to prominence after attacks on Hindu temples and communities post-Sheikh Hasina's regime collapse. India’s Ministry of External Affairs expressed “deep concern” over his detention, criticizing the failure to prosecute attackers while peaceful advocates face charges. The incident highlights growing tensions around minority protection in Bangladesh.
