A lawyer defending Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari,  the Hindu priest arrested and accused of sedition in Bangladesh, has been attacked, the ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) has said. A court in Bangladesh is expected to hear the case on December 3. 

In a post on X, Radharaman Das, the spokesperson for ISKCON, said, "Please pray for Advocate Ramen Roy. His only 'fault' was defending Chinmoy Krishna Prabhu in court. Islamists ransacked his home and brutally attacked him, leaving him in the ICU, fighting for his life".

Many lawyers in Bangladesh, however, have denied any such event.

Last month too, there were claims on social media and a few news outlets that a lawyer defending Chinmoy Krishna Das was killed. But investigations revealed that the murdered lawyer, Saiful Islam, was an assistant public prosecutor and he was not defending Chinmoy Das.

The post from Radharaman Das read:

Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, a prominent former leader of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) in Bangladesh, was arrested in Dhaka last month after protests by the Hindu community in Rangpur, demanding stronger legal protections for minority groups. He has been accused of sedition and was denied bail by a Dhaka court on Tuesday.

Bangladesh has seen widespread political violence and protests over minority rights since the ouster of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

Amid attacks on minority Hindus in the neighbouring coutry, Radharaman Das had earlier posted on X that two disciples of Chinmoy Krishna Das have gone missing in Chattogram after a second Hindu monk, Shyam Das Prabhu, was arrested.

India has condemned the arrest and urged Bangladeshi authorities to ensure the safety and security of Hindus and other minorities. 

The arrest has also been strongly criticised by Indian religious leaders and members of the civil society.

Protest rallies have been held in West Bengal and several other staes that share border with Bangladesh.

In Tripura, the criticism has taken the form of boycott. Hotels and restaurants have decided not to accept bookings from tourists from Bangladesh, the top association of the travel sector has said.

Earlier today, more than 50 protesters allegedly entered the premises of the Bangladeshi mission in Tripura capital Agartala, leading to panic among the officials and staff at the complex. India has described the incident as "deeply regrettable".

Advocate Defending Hindu Priest In Bangladesh Attacked, Says ISKCON

A 27-year-old woman in the US who killed and ate a cat has been sentenced to one year in jail after a furious judge slammed her for the stomach-turning act. According to the New York Post, Allexis Ferrell committed the gruesome act in August outside her home in Ohio. A bodycam footage from police officers who reached her house showed the 27-year-old on all fours outdoors eating the cat as horrified neighbours looked on. "What did you do? Why did you kill the cat?" a police officer is heard asking the woman in the clip. &nbsp;
On Monday, Stark Country Common Pleas Judge Frank Forchione called Ferrell a national embarrassment. "You've embarrassed this county. You've embarrassed this nation. More importantly, you've embarrassed yourself," the judge said, per the <a class="sp_lnk2" href="https://nypost.com/2024/12/02/us-news/disgusted-judge-puts-away-woman-who-ate-cat-in-stomach-turning-video-youve-embarrassed-this-nation/" rel="noindex,nofollow">outlet</a>.&nbsp;
"To me, you present quite a danger to our community. This is repulsive to me. I mean, that anyone would do this to an animal. And an animal's like a child. I don't know if you understand that or not. I can't express the disappointment, shock, disgust that this crime has brought to me. I don't know what could prompt anyone to want to eat a cat," Mr Forchione continued.&nbsp;
The judge sentenced Ferrell to one year in jail after she pleaded guilty to a felony charge of animal cruelty. According to the Post, her one-year sentence will be added to a separate 18-month sentence she is facing for two previous crimes including a theft in 201 and a child endangerment case from last year.&nbsp;
Stark County Prosecutor Chelsea Small called the cat incident disturbing. "It's one of the most disturbing cases that I've seen as a prosecutor," she said.&nbsp;

Ferrell's attorney Stephen Kandel, however, said that that shocking video makes it clear that the 27-year-old "has an issue with drugs and alcohol, through her evaluation, through her past history". He added that he has arranged for his client to undergo inpatient treatment after her release.
Notably, Ferrell's case became a part of online presidential campaign chatter after Donald Trump and JD Vance claimed that Haitian immigrants in Springfield were eating local pets. Later, officials clarified that Ferrell is not an immigrant and her case is not tied to that claim. She was born in Ohio and graduated from Canton McKinley High School in 2015.

US Woman Jailed For Killing, Eating Cat: "You've Embarrassed This Nation"

Four months after Ukraine's offensive on the Russian region of Kursk, text messages from soldiers the <a class="sp_lnk2" href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn4x9gz4ylwo" rel="noindex,nofollow">BBC</a> has been receiving, paints a bleak picture.

The soldiers are encumbered with fatigue and strained with sleeplessness because of terrifying 3,000 kg glide bombs. And now, as the winter stings, the only silver lining they can see amidst the grey - Donald Trump's inauguration.

The Ukrainian soldiers have lost their morale and the war isn't even about capturing anymore. It is about holding, and the soldiers say, "we're struggling a bit with that."

While both Russia and Ukraine await the president-elect Trump taking office, the latter is trying to hold maximum territory until Trump's inauguration. "The main task facing us is to hold the maximum territory until Trump's inauguration and the start of negotiations," Dmytro said. "In order to exchange it for something later. No-one knows what."

The one thing that remains constant apart from the immense pressure from the enemy is the loss of motivation.

With the war having been escalated, now the US, UK and France have all permitted Ukraine to use long-range weapons inside Russia, but that didn't do much for their spirits. "We live and fight here and now. And missiles fly somewhere else", Dmytro added.

The soldiers said that even if Atacms and Storm Shadow missiles proved effective somewhere, these successes hardly mean anything in the trenches. "We don't talk about missiles. In the bunkers we talk about family and rotation. About simple things", Marko said.

Regarding the North Korean troops set to join the Russian side, the soldiers BBC spoke with seemed to have no contact with. "I haven't seen or heard anything about Koreans, alive or dead," Andriy said. 

The soldiers have been told to capture at least one North Korean soldier with documents. Apparently, there are rewards such as drones and leaves for anyone who successfully captures a North Korean soldier.

Ukrainian soldiers will hold out at Kursk for "as long as it is feasible from the military point of view", since it is reaping military and political rewards for them and also since the situation in Kursk and heavy losses for Russia "annoys Putin".

The names in this article are not real.

A woman passed racist comments at a celebrated wedding photographer and his Indian-American family while they were in a shuttle bus of United Airlines at the Los Angeles Airport last week.
<a class="sp_lnk2" href="https://www.instagram.com/ptaufiqphotography/" target="_blank" rel="noindex,nofollow noopener">Pervez Taufiq</a> was accompanied by his wife and their three children when they arrived in Los Angeles from Cancun. The woman, who was on the same flight as Mr Taufiq's family, boarded the same bus to the terminal.
"Mortified, we just went through this. This lady was harassing our son on the flight, unbeknownst to us, asking him if he was Indian and making comments. When we landed in LA and got on the transfer bus, she told our son to 'shut up', I told her she didn't have a right to speak to my son that way and her husband got in my face trying to tell me to not speak to his wife," Mr Taufiq wrote on Instagram and shared a video of the entire incident.
In the video, the photographer expressed his outrage over the incident, saying his "blood is boiling right now".
"I honestly can't even believe that something like this is a real thing. We were just having an altercation with this lady who was giving us a really hard time telling the kids to 'Shut Up', I lost it and said, you know, you don't have a right to talk to my kids like that."
The situation escalated after the woman verbally attacked him and said, "Your family is from India, you have no respect, you have no rules, you think you can push everyone, push, push, push... That's what you think you are. You guys are f*****g crazy."
In response, Mr Taufiq asked if she wanted him to have "more curry". To this, she said, "I am going to record your f******g tandoori a**... your tandoori stinky a**."
As Mr Taufiq asked the security personnel to remove her, she interrupted him and said, "He does not care that I am a racist, you are racist towards me. I am American."
"So are we," he replied to her.
She reacted, "You are not American... Not originally no, you are from...India."
Mr Taufiq insisted he was born in America.
In his post, Mr Taufiq thanked the airline and said the lady was taken "off the bus ultimately and a few fellow passengers stood up for us."
"Blown away these types of people still exist," he added.
Speaking with <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/12/02/us-news/wedding-photographer-and-family-shocked-by-sickening-insults-from-fellow-united-passenger/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow,noindex noopener">The New York Post</a>, Mr Taufiq, who grew up in Boston, said he first interacted with her during the flight.
Mr Taufiq believed the woman was "clearly" drunk at the time of the incident.
He and his wife work as photographers at events, including over 200 weddings per year, worldwide.

Brazil Prisoner's Desperate Escape Attempt Leaves Him Stuck In Prison Wall

अफगानिस्तान और पाकिस्तान के मध्य चल रहे तनाव के बीच अब तालिबानी सरकार ने बड़ा फैसला लिया है. अफगानिस्तान सरकार ने पाकिस्तान के साथ व्यापार और ट्रांजिट रोकने का ऐलान किया है. अफगानिस्तान के आर्थिक मामलों के डिप्टी प्रधानमंत्री मुल्ला अब्दुल गनी बरादर ने इसकी घोषणा की. उन्होंने उद्योगपतियों और व्यापारियों के साथ एक बैठक में निर्णय लिया.&nbsp;
बरदार ने व्यापारियों के साथ एक बैठक में कहा- "अफगान के व्यापारियों को तुरंत पाकिस्तान से इतर वैकल्पिक व्यापार मार्गों (Business Route) की तलाश करनी चाहिए."
बरदार ने कहा, "देश की गरिमा की रक्षा, व्यापार, उद्योग और अफगानियों के अधिकारों की रक्षा के लिए, इस्लामिक अमीरात ने हमारे व्यापारी भाईयों को सूचित किया है. इसमें पाकिस्तान की तरफ से बार-बार व्यापार किए जाने वाले रास्तों को रोका गया है. साथ ही गैर राजनीतिक मुद्दों को राजनीतिक टूल के रूप में इस्तेमाल किया है." &nbsp;
बात नहीं मानोगे तो मुश्किलों का सामना करना पड़ेगा: गनी उन्होंने व्यापारियों को सख्त चेतावनी देते हुए कहा- नोटिस के बावजूद अगर कोई भी व्यापारी पाकिस्तान के रास्ते माल का आयात या निर्यात करता है, तो उसे मुश्किलों का सामना करना पड़ेगा. अगर उस व्यापारी पर किसी तरह की मुश्किल आती है, सरकार की उस व्यापारी की कोई मदद नहीं करेगी. इसलिए हम सलाह दे रहे हैं, कि पाकिस्तान के साथ व्यापार को रोक दें.&nbsp;
बता दें, तालिबान सरकार ने ये सख्त फैसला पाकिस्तान की ओर से लगातार दी जा रही हमले की धमकियों के बीच लिया है.&nbsp;
पाक-अफगानिस्तान के बीच तनाव क्यों?
दरअसल, जिस हिस्से में पिछले कुछ वक्त से दोनों देशों के बीच झड़प देखने को मिली है, उसकी वजह कुर्रम नाम का जिला है. ये कभी फेडरली एडमिनिस्टरड ट्राइबल एरियाज (FATA) का इलाका था. यह इलाका ऊंचे पहाड़, घने जंगलों और गहरी घाटियों से घिरा हुआ है. यहां पश्तून कबीले के लोग रहा करते थे. 1983 में ब्रिटिशों ने ड्यूंड लाइन बनाई थी। ये लाइन अफगानिस्तान और ब्रिटिश भारत को अलग करती थी. लेकिन पश्तून कबीले के लोगों ने इस लाइन को कभी नहीं माना. वे इसे अपना इलाका ही मानते थे. ब्रिटिश सरकार को डर था कि अगर ये कबीले अफगानिस्तान से मिल गए, तो उनका कंट्रोल न के बराबर रह जाएगा. इसलिए उन्होंने FATA नाम का एक अलग इलाका बनाया, जिसमें बाजौर, मोहमान्द, खैबर, ओरकजई, कुर्रम, उत्तर वजीरिस्तान और दक्षिण वजीरिस्तान के अलावा 6 फ्रंटियर रीजन भी थे.
जब भारत से अलग होकर पाकिस्तान बना, तो तब के तात्कालीन प्रधानमंत्री मोहम्मद अली जिन्ना ने कबीलों से वादा किया था, कि हम इस इलाके को वैसा ही रहने देंगे. लेकिन पाकिस्तान ने साल 2018 में FATA को खैबर पख्तूनख्वा सूबे में मिला लिया. &nbsp;लेकिन पश्तून के कबीले इसके विरोध में थे. ब्रिटिश सरकार के समय में बना बफर जोन FATA अब खत्म हो गया है, मतलब कुर्रम अब खैबर पख्तूनख्वा का हिस्सा है. अगर यहां हमला होता है, तो पाकिस्तान इसे अपने देश पर हमला मानता है. इस वजह से दोनों देश के बीच तनाव बना हुआ है.&nbsp;
