[Dr Rayhan Rashid @rayhanrashid]

Two Bangladeshi citizens, Nazrul Islam Abdul Basir and Siti Akhtar, were executed in Saudi Arabia on 14 October. Their families, their government and their "Bangladesh" consulate appear to have learned of it only after it was done. Whatever one thinks of the alleged act, this should outrage anyone who believes in due process. Two lives were taken through a process no one outside the Saudi system was allowed to see.

Seven things about this execution demand scrutiny and accountability:

ONE.
Saudi Arabia failed to notify the Bangladesh consulate twice. The first failure came at arrest. Under Article 36 of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, a detained foreign national must be told without delay of the right to consular notification and access, and there is no sign either of them ever was. The second failure came after the executions. Article 37 requires the host state to inform the consulate of a foreign national’s death without delay, and the Bangladesh Consulate in Jeddah says it was not told.

TWO.
It was a death sentence for a non-lethal offence. The sentence was ta’zir, a discretionary punishment. No religious text required death here; a judge chose it. That falls far short of the “most serious crimes” threshold set by the Arab Charter on Human Rights, which Saudi Arabia has ratified, and by the UN death-penalty safeguards.

THREE.
We don’t know what legal representation they had. Did each have a lawyer? A Bangla interpreter? Did the conviction rest on a confession, and how was that confession obtained?

FOUR.
We don’t know if the woman’s consent was examined. The Saudi statement does not even confirm whether the two were married.

FIVE.
The families were left in the dark. Were they told beforehand? Where are the bodies, and will they be returned?

SIX.
Our consulate was absent for months. The Saudi statement says “the judgment became final after being upheld by the relevant judicial authority, and a Royal Order was issued to enforce the sentence.” That describes an arrest, detention, investigation, trial, appeal and royal confirmation, which takes months, not days. What was the Bangladesh consulate doing through all of it?

SEVEN.
The Foreign Ministry’s response is a disgrace. It cannot excuse itself by saying it was not contacted. Article 31 of our Constitution guarantees every citizen the protection of the law “wherever he (or she) may be.” The state has a positive duty to protect its people abroad, above all the wage earners whose remittances keep our economy afloat. Treating them this way is inexcusable.

This is part of a bigger pattern. Bangladesh's Foreign Ministry is usually quick to issue scathing statements, for example over Sheikh Hasina’s press event in Delhi or the heckling of Professor Yunus. Here it has been strikingly timid. Abuse of Bangladeshi workers across the Middle East is widely reported, yet we have rarely seen real backbone from the ministry or our Gulf missions.

Dhaka should do four things now:

1. Demand the full case file and judgments from Riyadh, and publish them.

2. Secure the return of the remains to the families.

3. Audit every Bangladeshi currently detained or on death row in the Gulf.

4. Negotiate and put in place a robust arrangement for automatic consular protection in all such circumstances.

Two citizens are dead. The least they deserve is the truth about how and why.

10 Dead in Fire at Wooden Resort in Cox’s Bazar, Six Injured

The death toll from a fire at a wooden resort on Patowar Tek Beach in Inani, Ukhiya, Cox’s Bazar, has risen to 10. Six other burn victims are receiving treatment at Cox’s Bazar Sadar Hospital. The fire is suspected to have originated from a stove in the resort’s kitchen.

Six of the 10 victims have been identified as Israt Jahan Maliha (30) and Milita Mehejabin Alvi (23) from Banasree, Dhaka; Laila Jahan Nabila (27) and Nafista Mim (27) from Khilgaon; Fariha Kabir (33) from Chuadanga; and five-year-old Faizan Ahmed.

The fire broke out at around 7:30 a.m. at the resort, located beside Marine Drive Road. Firefighters from the Ukhiya Fire Station, approximately 18 kilometres away, took more than 30 minutes to reach the scene and began rescue operations at around 8:00 a.m.

Brigadier General Sultanul Afreen Junaid, Director General of the Fire Service and Civil Defence, said the resort, known as Tuptup Resort, did not have a fire safety licence.

One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.

This is what the Gaza Strip has become after the war. Israeli soldiers boast about it. This is utter barbarity and savagery.

A video that the world must never forget.

Netanyahu claims that there is no hunger in Gaza…

How can anyone deny the suffering of millions of people who are struggling to find food, clean water, and the most basic necessities of life?

Stop the violence, end the siege, and stop the terror and oppression inflicted upon the Palestinian people!

Our children are hungry. Our families are suffering. Innocent people are struggling to survive while the world watches.

How much more suffering must Gaza endure before the world takes meaningful action?

Do not remain silent. Speak up for Gaza, expose the truth, and share our voices with the world. We demand justice, freedom, and an end to the suffering of innocent civilians.

Humanity must not remain silent in the face of such suffering. 🇵🇸💔

Today in Macroyan area of Kabul, a female protester was brutally assaulted by the Taliban with a water cannon gun. She attained serious head injuries and was heavily bleeding. The Taliban told her to stay home. She didn’t listen, so they attacked her like wild savages.
