The Bangladesh High Court has issued a directive to the government to provide an explanation as to why bail should not be granted to Chinmoy Krishna Das, as confirmed by his legal representative. Das, spokesperson of the Bangladesh Sammilit Sanatani Jagran Jote, faces sedition charges after allegedly insulting the national flag. After his initial bail request was denied by a Chittagong court on January 2, Das sought recourse from the High Court.
