[vasanthm]

Saudi Arabia has announced the execution of two Bangladeshi nationals after they were found guilty of engaging in a segxwal act inside a mosque in the holy city of Mecca.

According to a statement released by the Saudi Ministry of Interior on Wednesday, the individuals were identified as Nazrul Islam Abdul Basir and Siti Akhtar.

The ministry said the pair were arrested by security authorities following the incident, after which they were formally charged. Following investigations, both were sentenced and subsequently executed, the statement confirmed.

Siti is a male or female name ?

Siti is a female name in Bangladesh.

I find it hard to understand why they thought that performing carnal acts in a mosque in Saudi Arabia (of all places...) would not end this way... unbelieveable.

Siti is a male or female name ?

Female according to news reports I read. This couple must have had a death wish if the allegations are true

very doubtful act

1) The Saudi govt didn't reveal the couple's crime

2) Saudi govt didn't allow them to meet the bangladeshi ambassador or relative

3) Saudi authorities didn't inform the bangldeshi ambassy, also not inform relatives of the couple

4) didn't handover the body of couple

this scene creates a very doubtful scenario

Yes, I doubt we are getting the full story. Saudis are well known for their lack of transparency in these kinds of matters. Authoritarian state and fundamentalist Wahhabi belief system.

Saudi authorities would never dare execute American citizens over these petty crimes. Most of the time, the executions I’ve heard about involve Bangladeshi or Pakistani citizens.

What a shameful statement by the Bangladeshi minister. Whatever they did, the two Bangladeshi citizens were entitled to due process and consular access. Do you think the Saudis would have done the same if those involved had American passports ?

According to reports from the European‑Saudi Organisation for Human Rights and other monitors, Saudi Arabia executed 101 foreign nationals in 2024, the largest number in the kingdom’s history. The breakdown included:

• Pakistan – 21 executions
• Yemen – 20 executions
• Syria – 14 executions
• Nigeria – 10 executions
• Egypt – 9 executions
• Others from Jordan, Ethiopia, and other South Asian and African countries.

This makes Pakistanis the single nationality most frequently executed in the kingdom’s recent records.
