@frosnews: MAKKAH, Saudi Arabia — Saudi Arabian authorities have executed two Bangladeshi nationals—a man and a woman—in the Makkah region after they were convicted of committing what officials described as an "immoral act" inside a local mosque, the Saudi Ministry of Interior confirmed in a statement released through the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA). The executed individuals were identified as Nazrul Islam Abdul Basir and Siti Akhtar. According to official dispatches, the two were taken into custody by local security forces after allegedly engaging in indecent conduct within the sacred perimeter of a mosque. Following a criminal investigation, formal charges were submitted to a competent court, which found both individuals guilty and handed down death sentences under Ta'zir, a category of discretionary punishment under Islamic jurisprudence, citing the severe violation of the sanctity and dignity of the holy site. The sentences were subsequently upheld by the appellate judiciary and the Supreme Court, before a royal order was issued to authorize the capital punishment. Meanwhile, diplomatic officials at the Bangladesh Consulate General in Jeddah indicated that they were not notified in advance of the execution, confirming that a diplomatic note (note verbale) has been transmitted to the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs seeking formal details and official acknowledgment of the proceedings.
