An ISKCON temple in Noakhali city in Bangladesh was vandalised and a devotee was killed by a mob on October 16.
ISKCON has organised a worldwide protest at about 700 ISKCON temples across 150 nations tomorrow.

On October 23 we have organised a worldwide protest. Here also we have organised protest and prayer meet," ISKCON Kolkata Vice President Radharamn Das said.
In an official statement issued, the worldwide International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) said multiple temples, homes, shops and individuals were attacked across several districts of the country and several innocent members of the Hindu minority were killed.
The ISKCON called upon Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina government to take swift action to bring an end to the violence and demanded that perpetrators of the attacks should be brought to justice.
