Hindu Monk Arrested in Bangladesh Amid Rising Tensions Over Minority Rights

GG News Bureau
Dhaka, 27th Nov.  In a distressing development highlighting the ongoing persecution of minorities in Bangladesh, prominent Hindu monk and advocate for minority rights, Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, was arrested and detained by Dhaka Police. This arrest comes at a time when religious minorities, including Hindus, face increasing violence and discrimination under the interim government led by Mohammad Yunus.

Chinmoy Krishna Prabhu has been a leading voice against systemic oppression and violence targeting Hindu communities. His arrest has triggered widespread protests across Bangladesh, with Hindu communities demanding his immediate release. Peaceful demonstrations, however, have reportedly been met with violent attacks by radical Islamist groups, further exacerbating tensions and highlighting the vulnerability of minorities in the country.

Calls for Action
The incident has sparked outrage among human rights advocates, who have called for:

• The immediate and unconditional release of Shri Chinmoy Krishna Prabhu.
• Protection of minority rights and freedom of expression.
• An end to violence against peaceful protesters.
• International sanctions on Bangladesh’s interim government for its handling of minority issues.

The interim government, already under scrutiny for allegations of systemic oppression, faces mounting pressure from global leaders and rights organizations to address the worsening plight of minorities.

This arrest represents a critical moment in the fight for religious freedom and equality in Bangladesh, with many urging international intervention to ensure justice and safeguard minority communities.
