Bangladesh Court again rejects bail plea of priest Chinmoy Krishna Das

A Bangladesh court rejected a plea to reschedule the bail hearing of Hindu priest Chinmoy Krishna Das, citing unauthorized representation. Lawyer Rabindra Ghosh, facing courtroom intimidation, secured authorization from Das and plans to reapply. Das, arrested on sedition charges, awaits his bail hearing now scheduled for January 2nd following earlier clashes and a lawyer's death.
