ISKCON issued this appeal in response to widespread protests in Bangladesh after the arrest of Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, a former ISKCON member, on sedition charges. He was denied bail on Tuesday.
The protests, primarily organized by the Hindu community, have been seen in several cities across Bangladesh, including Dhaka and Chattogram.
