Bangladeshi family awaits confirmation after Saudi Arabia reportedly executes woman

A family in Bangladesh's Tangail is awaiting official confirmation after reports emerged that Saudi Arabia executed Bangladeshi national Siti Akhtar. Saudi authorities said she and another Bangladeshi man were executed in Mecca on October 14 after a court convicted them of committing indecent acts in a mosque.

Siti had previously told her father she was framed after an argument. Bangladesh’s Foreign Ministry confirmed two citizens were executed but has yet to officially verify their identities.
