Bangladeshi Advocate Defending Hindu Monk Chinmoy Prabhu Attacked
ISKCON kolkata spokesperson Radharamn Das said monday that Advocate Ramen Roy, who had defended Hindu monk Chinmoy krishna Prabhu in a court case, was viciously attacked in the neighboring country and is battling for his life in a hospital amid growing concerns about the safety and security of minority Hindus in Bangladesh.
Das claims that Roy's sole "fault" was that he stood up for Prabhu in court, which led to an Islamist gang raging through his house. A spokeswoman for ISKCON kolkata stated that Roy was taken to the intensive care unit after suffering severe injuries and is currently struggling for his life.
Along with a picture of Roy in ICU, he posted on X, "Please pray for Advocate Ramen Roy. His only 'fault' was defending Chinmoy krishna Prabhu in court. Islamists ransacked his home and brutally attacked him, leaving him in the ICU, fighting for his life."
Risk for those upholding the rights of minorities: ISKCON
Das, who is also the vice president of ISKCON kolkata, stated in an interview with a bengali news channel: "This vicious assault on attorney Roy is a direct result of his legal defense of Chinmoy krishna Prabhu. It illustrates the increasing risk that people in bangladesh who stand out for the rights of religious minorities data-face.
Notably, Jote Chinmay Krishna, the spokesman for Bangladesh's Sammilita Sanatani Jagran, was detained on monday at Hazrat Shahjalal international Airport in Dhaka while traveling to Chattogram to attend a demonstration.
A Bangladeshi court on tuesday refused him bail and sentenced him to jail. During the 1971 Liberation War, approximately 22% of Bangladesh's population was Hindu. But throughout time, it has significantly decreased, and now, just around 8% of the nation's population is a member of the minority group. Exodus, sociopolitical marginalization, and intermittent violence throughout time are all major factors in this decline.
