Persecution not acceptable: UK MP on arrest of monk in B'desh

UK MP Bob Blackman condemned atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh and arrest of ex-ISCKON member and Hindu monk Chinmoy Das Prabhu, stating that such persecution is not acceptable. Blackman pointed to an attempt in the Bangladesh High Court to ban Iskcon, describing it as "a direct attack on Hindus". "Freedom of religion must be preserved globally," he further said.
