“The bail was rejected at a time when even the global community expected his bail. We will wait and see what the lawyers decide,” the Iskcon Vice President and spokesperson said.
Speaking on Bangladesh court's decision regarding the bail plea of monk Chinmoy Krishna Das, Radharaman Das said, «The eyes of the world were on today’s hearing in Bangladesh for Chinmoy Das's bail plea. Today 10-11 lawyers were also under scrutiny globally. The hope is that these lawyers will be able to present their arguments and fight for his cause.”
“We are aware that the previous lawyers representing him had been threatened in various ways. Some lawyers’ homes and chambers were vandalized and they were physically attacked. We hope that present lawyers, who will appear before the High Court, will be provided with adequate security by the Bangladesh government, both inside and outside the court..." Das said. Iskcon sources said that they are worried about the health of the monk.
