ISKCON calls for a worldwide prayer gathering on December 1 to support devotees and minorities in Bangladesh following the arrest of monks and escalating violence against religious groups. The movement highlights the urgent need for protection and solidarity amidst ongoing unrest.

Hindu priest Chinmoy Krishna Das, a former member of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), was detained at Dhaka's Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on Monday.

ISKCON member Shyam Das Prabhu was arrested in Chattogram, Bangladesh, the organisation's Kolkata unit said. This comes as tensions have been rising in Bangladesh, with attacks on Hindu temples.
