Millben, who has been a vocal advocate for religious freedom, stressed the importance of protecting the rights of individuals to practice their faith safely, regardless of their background.
Chinmoy Krishna Das, a prominent Bangladeshi Hindu monk and spokesperson for the Bangladesh Sanatani Jagaran Mancha, was arrested on Nov. 25, amid escalating tensions surrounding attacks on Hindus and other minority communities in the country.
The arrest comes as Bangladesh faces growing calls from extremist factions to ban the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), a movement with a significant presence in the region.
