A Ph.D. student at Michigan State University revealed that his mother had been arrested in Bangladesh after he voiced his criticism of the country’s government on Facebook. Tanzilur Rahman, pursuing a doctorate in materials science and engineering, expressed his thoughts on the war crime trials conducted by the government. His mother, Anisa Siddika, was subsequently charged with planning to sabotage government entities and conspiring against the government. Rahman believes that his Facebook post was the reason behind his mother’s arrest. This incident sheds light on concerns about censorship in Bangladesh, particularly targeting those who speak out from the diaspora.
