The execution of two Bangladeshi nationals in Saudi Arabia has sparked global concern.
Human rights groups and diplomatic circles have expressed alarm over the case and its handling.
The two were put to death in Makkah on Wednesday, October 14, 2026.
Saudi authorities identified them as Nazrul Islam Abdul Basir and Siti Akhtar, also known as Sweety.
They were convicted of committing what officials called an “immoral act” inside a mosque.
No full details of the alleged offence have been made public by Saudi authorities.
Bangladesh says it received no advance notice that the executions would be carried out.
Dhaka has formally requested full legal records and clarification from the Saudi government.
Migrant worker organisations across Asia have called for greater transparency in such cases.
Questions are also being raised about whether proper consular access was provided throughout the process.
Rights groups continue to monitor the situation and call for fair legal standards to be upheld.
