A Bangladeshi court has again denied bail to a Hindu monk accused of sedition, amidst growing religious tensions in the country. The monk, Chinmoy Krishna Das, was arrested in November for allegedly disrespecting the Bangladeshi flag during a rally.
Security forces heightened in Chittagong as a court rejected bail for Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das, accused of sedition amid religious tensions in Bangladesh . Chinmoy Krishna Das was arrested in November for allegedly disrespecting the Bangladesh i flag during a rally and faces charges of sedition. A Bangladesh i court again denied bail to an Hindu monk, whose followers accused of killing a public prosecutor amidst the religious strife in the mainly Muslim nation.
Security forces ringed the court in the southern port city of Chittagong, wary after violence erupted following a previous bail hearing. But public prosecutor Raihanul Wajed Chowdhury said they had opposed bail because there was 'much more to investigate'. The family of the lawyer murdered in November, Saiful Islam Alif, has filed two separate cases against those they say are linked to his death. Religious relations have been turbulent in Bangladesh since a student-led revolution toppled prime minister Sheikh Hasina last year. New Delhi's Hindu-nationalist government were key supporters of Hasina, and the 77-year-old has been in exile in India since she fled protesters as they stormed the prime minister's palace on August 5. Bangladesh in December requested India send Hasina back to face charges of 'massacres, killings, and crimes against humanity'. India confirmed it had received the request but declined to comment further
