Mary Millben, an American musician, voiced worry on Wednesday over the arrest of ISKCON priest Chinmoy Krishna Das in Bangladesh and urged the world to confront the country's "extremists" who target Hindus and minorities.

The Bangladeh court denied bail to Krishna Das Prabhu and ordered him detained pending further proceedings. One lawyer was killed and scores were injured after clashes broke out following Tuesday's court order.

WASHINGTON: Condemning attacks on minorities in Bangladesh, several Hindu American groups have sought that US aid for the South Asian country be made contingent on its government taking measurable action to protect these populations.
