32 more Bangladeshis on death row in various Middle East countries

By Nazmus Saquib

32 more Bangladeshi workers in various Middle East countries like Kuwait, Qatar, Iraq, United Arab Emirates may meet a fate similar to that of their eight compatriots, who were beheaded in public in Riyadh last year for murdering an Egyptian security guard. These 32 workers are at present languishing in jail in pitiable condition, reports satellite channel ATN Bangla today. The channel further added that the families of these accused workers have already submitted letters to the Ministry of Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment (MEWOE) seeking for the settlement of the issue after discussing with the victim’s families. They fear their dear ones would be executed if timely actions are not taken by the ministry. Last year various rights bodies blamed the ministry for its failure to negotiate the issue of the 8 migrant workers executions in Saudi Arabia.
