There is something unbearably cruel about this.
Chinmoy Krishna Das spent months behind bars while his mother grew critically ill.
His family pleaded for him to be allowed to see her one last time.
He couldn’t.
She died.
Only then was he given a few hours of parole to attend her funeral.The video of him breaking down beside his mother’s body is devastating.
Whatever your politics are, there has to be room for basic humanity. A final goodbye should never become a privilege granted too late.
