Jailed Hindu Monk Gets 5-Hour Parole for Mother's Funeral in Bangladesh: 'Pure, Unadulterated Cruelty'
Authorities granted the jailed Hindu monk five hours to attend his mother’s funeral after family pleas, and he returned to custody, officials said.
- On Thursday, authorities granted jailed Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das 5-hour parole to attend his mother's funeral after Chattogram District Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Zahidul Islam Mia authorized the brief release.
- Sandhya Rani Dhar, 71, died at a hospital in Hathazari on Thursday, with family stating her final wish to see her imprisoned son remained unfulfilled.
- Video footage showed Das touching the feet of a Radha-Krishna idol at Pundarik Dham temple in Chattogram before returning to custody, according to his brother Ranjan Kumar Dhar.
- Despite receiving parole, Das remains detained as his bail in a sedition case is stayed, though he has secured bail from the High Court in four of his six total criminal cases.
- Arrested in November 2024, Das served as a spokesperson for the Bangladesh Sammilito Sanatani Jagaran Jot, a group that organized rallies demanding minority rights following the ouster of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
