Islamist Bangladeshi regime refuses to release Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Prabhu despite massive protests by Bangladeshi Hindus. The Chittagong Metropolitan Magistrate Court has rejected the bail application of Chinmoy Krishna Prabhu and continues to imprison the Hindu monk and leader. “Whatever happens to me, you don’t stop the movement,” Chinmoy Prabhu said to Bangladeshi Hindus from the court premises.

Bangladeshi Hindus have been protesting against the arrest of Chinmoy Krishna Prabhu by the Dhaka Police’s Detective Branch on Monday at Dhaka Airport. Chinmoy Krishna Prabhu, known for his vocal protests against the rising atrocities on Hindu minorities in Bangladesh, is the leader of Sammilita Sanatani Jote and a senior monk of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). His detention has intensified grievances over the growing persecution of Hindus under the radical Islamist Muhammad Yunus government, which has been marked by violence, forced conversions, and systemic attacks on the community.

Visuals from Dhaka, Chittagong, and other cities showed Hindus rallying against Chinmoy Krishna Prabhu’s arrest. Protesters blocked key roads in Dhaka’s Shahbagh area, chanting slogans and demanding his immediate release. In Chittagong, demonstrators held a flashlight vigil, underscoring their defiance. However, several protesters were injured after being attacked by unidentified assailants, further heightening tensions.

Chinmoy Krishna Prabhu was reportedly arrested for allegedly disrespecting the Bangladeshi flag during a rally in October. However, his supporters argue that the arrest is part of a broader crackdown on Hindu activists who dare to raise their voices against the escalating violence and religious oppression faced by the community.

Since the Islamist Muhammad Yunus government came to power in Bangladesh, reports of targeted violence against Hindus have surged. Temples have been desecrated, Hindu homes burned, and families displaced, while incidents of forced conversions and abductions of Hindu women have become alarmingly frequent. Human rights activists accuse the government of fostering an environment of impunity for perpetrators of such crimes.

Chinmoy Krishna Prabhu’s arrest follows a sedition case filed against him and others over the alleged hoisting of a saffron flag at a rally. His detention has sparked outrage within the Hindu community and beyond, symbolizing the government’s attempts to suppress minority voices demanding justice.
