沙特阿拉伯处决两名孟加拉国公民——纳兹鲁尔·伊斯兰·阿卜杜勒·巴希尔和斯威蒂·阿克塔尔,罪名为所谓的“不道德行为”,地点在麦加,至今已过去一周。他们的家属和孟加拉国政府均未获事先通知,双方均是通过媒体报道和社交媒体帖子得知处决消息。目前遗体尚未送回,达卡仍在向利雅得索要详情,与此同时,网上出现大量近乎雷同的帖子,散布关于一名印度男子涉嫌卷入此案的未经证实说法。
It's been a week since Saudi Arabia executed two Bangladeshi citizens, Nazrul Islam Abdul Bashir and Sweety Akhtar, over alleged "immoral acts" in Mecca. Neither their families nor the Bangladeshi government were informed in advance, with both learning of the executions through media reports and social media posts. As their remains are yet to be returned and Dhaka continues to press Riyadh for details, near-identical posts are proliferating online, pushing unverified claims about an Indian man's alleged involvement in the case.
关于导致两人被处决的具体行为,公众知之甚少。沙特当局称两人经法院判决定罪,但未公开披露关于指控罪行或针对他们的证据的详细信息。
Little is publicly known about the specific acts that led to their executions. Saudi authorities said the two were convicted by a court, but have not publicly disclosed detailed information about the alleged offence or the evidence against them.
据《每日星报》获得的吉达孟加拉国总领事馆一份机密备忘录,纳兹鲁尔和斯威蒂均受雇于沙特公司Al Majal担任清洁工。领事馆于9月30日收到的一份囚犯名单显示,纳兹鲁尔于2023年8月1日因违反沙特阿拉伯网络犯罪法被拘留,斯威蒂则于次日因通奸指控被拘留。
According to a confidential memo from the Bangladesh Consulate General in Jeddah, obtained by The Daily Star, both Nazrul and Sweety were employed as cleaners by Saudi company Al Majal. A prisoner list received by the consulate on September 30 showed that Nazrul had been detained on August 1, 2023, under Saudi Arabia's cybercrime law, while Sweety was detained the following day on allegations of adultery.
两人的家属均对指控提出异议。纳兹鲁尔的亲属告诉《Prothom Alo》报,他是一名巴基斯坦同事据称策划的阴谋的受害者。斯威蒂的家属则称,她因部分女同事据称非法购车而被捕。上述说法均未经独立核实。
Both families have disputed the charges against Nazrul and Sweety. Nazrul's relatives told Prothom Alo that he was the victim of a conspiracy allegedly hatched by a Pakistani co-worker. Sweety's family, meanwhile, said she was arrested after some of her female co-workers allegedly bought a car illegally. Neither account has been independently verified.
官方信息的缺失助长了关于纳兹鲁尔和斯威蒂据称做了什么以及他们关系性质的疯狂猜测。《印度今日》数字版早前的报道提到,社交媒体上流传说法称两人已结婚,他们所犯罪行充其量只是在麦加互吻额头。
The lack of official information has fuelled rampant speculation about what Nazrul and Sweety allegedly did and the nature of their relationship. India Today Digital's earlier coverage of the case noted claims circulating on social media that the two were married and that their offence amounted, at most, to kissing each other on the forehead in Mecca.
两个家庭均已否认这些说法,称两人互不相识。此后,关于该所谓事件的耸人听闻的说法在网络上大量涌现。一条最初由一个巴基斯坦的X账号分享的帖子,现正被孟加拉国、巴基斯坦及多个非洲国家的账号逐字转发。除其他指控外,该帖子指责一名印度男子对纳兹鲁尔和斯威蒂的死负有责任。巴基斯坦和孟加拉国账号正在网上大量发布近乎相同的帖子,推动关于一名印度男子涉嫌卷入此案的未经证实的说法。巴基斯坦账号分享的帖子声称了什么?
Both families have rejected these claims, saying the two did not know each other. Since then, increasingly lurid accounts of the alleged incident have proliferated online. One post, originally shared by a Pakistan-based X account, is now being reproduced verbatim by accounts based in Bangladesh, Pakistan and several African countries. Among other allegations, the post accuses an Indian man of being responsible for Nazrul and Sweety's deaths. Near-identical posts are proliferating online among Pakistani and Bangladeshi accounts, pushing unverified claims about an Indian man's alleged involvement in the case.WHAT ARE THE POSTS SHARED BY PAKISTANIS CLAIMING?
有关帖子于10月20日周二开始流传,声称在麦加禁寺(Masjid al-Haram)担任清洁工的纳兹鲁尔和斯威蒂发展了恋情,并在清真寺85号门和87号门之间的一个偏僻房间内通奸。帖子指称,纳兹鲁尔请一名印度朋友在门外把风,而该朋友录下了两人的亲密过程。
The posts in question, which entered circulation on Tuesday, October 20, claim that Nazrul and Sweety, who worked as cleaners at Mecca's Masjid al-Haram, developed a romantic relationship and engaged in adultery in a secluded room between gates 85 and 87 of the mosque. The posts allege that Nazrul asked an Indian friend to stand guard while he and Sweety were together, and that the friend recorded the encounter.
根据帖子内容,这名印度男子后来因追求斯威蒂未果而散布了该视频。帖子声称沙特当局逮捕了三人,判处印度男子20年监禁,最终因两人亵渎大清真寺的神圣性而判处纳兹鲁尔和斯威蒂死刑。
According to the posts, the Indian man later circulated the video after failing to pursue a relationship with Sweety himself. The posts claim that Saudi authorities arrested all three, sentencing the Indian man to 20 years in prison while eventually handing Nazrul and Sweety death sentences for violating the sanctity of the Grand Mosque.
帖子还坚称,关于这对夫妇仅在副朝(Umrah)期间接吻的说法“完全是虚假和捏造的”。它进一步断言,沙特最高法院认为死刑是对他们所谓行为的适当“惩一儆百之刑”。
The posts also insist that claims that the couple had merely kissed during Umrah are "completely false and fabricated." It further asserts that the Saudi Supreme Court deemed capital punishment an appropriate "exemplary punishment" for their alleged actions.
这些说法仍未经证实。利雅得有限的公开披露在案件细节上留下了巨大空白,为这种猜测提供了空间。但这些帖子中的详细叙述远超公开已确立的内容。
These claims remain unverified. Riyadh's limited public disclosures have left significant gaps in the account of the case, creating room for such speculation. But the detailed narrative in these posts goes well beyond what has been established publicly.
没有任何可查的官方记录证实针对这名印度男子的指控,包括他被判处20年监禁的说法。关于所谓事件的详细经过也未经独立核实。
No available official record substantiates the allegations against the Indian man, including the claim that he was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Nor has the detailed account of the alleged incident been independently corroborated.
这些帖子最初在巴基斯坦和孟加拉国用户的Facebook和X账号间流传。分享这些说法的人包括法尔汗·基亚尼,他被认定为巴基斯坦穆斯林联盟(纳瓦兹派)利雅得青年团主席。随后,这一叙述原封不动地出现在其他国家的账号上,包括尼日利亚和阿富汗。
The posts initially circulated among Pakistani and Bangladeshi accounts on Facebook and X. Among those sharing the claims was Farhan Kiyani, identified as the president of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz's youth wing in Riyadh. The narrative subsequently appeared verbatim on accounts based in other countries, including Nigeria and Afghanistan.
该文本还进入了一家出版物。《哈吉记者》(Hajj Reporters)是一个相对冷门的新闻门户网站,它以《内幕故事:为何两名孟加拉国人被判死刑》为标题发布了该事件的一个版本。文章重复了这些指控,包括一名印度人导致这两人被捕,但未提供独立证据予以证实。
The text also found its way into a publication. Hajj Reporters, a relatively obscure news portal, published a version of the account under the headline "The Inside Story: Why Two Bangladeshi Were Given Death Sentences." The article repeated the allegations, including that an Indian individual was responsible for the pair's apprehension, but did not provide independent evidence to substantiate them.
无论如何,无休止的猜测和相互指责对厘清真相毫无帮助。无论纳兹鲁尔和斯威蒂做过什么或没做什么,他们因一项据称非暴力的罪行被处决。死刑在沙特阿拉伯仍被广泛使用,该国2025年处决了300多人,其中许多涉及毒品犯罪。但这并不意味着这些处决的具体情节就不值得审视。
In any case, endless speculation and the trading of accusations do little to clarify what happened. Whatever Nazrul and Sweety did or did not do, they were executed for an alleged non-violent offence. Capital punishment remains widely used in Saudi Arabia, which executed more than 300 people in 2025, many for drug-related offences. But that does not make the circumstances of these executions any less deserving of scrutiny.
为何利雅得在执行死刑前未通知达卡,且迄今仍未提供孟加拉国要求的信息?又为何达卡据称知晓纳兹鲁尔和斯威蒂被关押一年,却未能在为时已晚前获取更多案情细节或进行外交干预?这些才是需要答案的问题,而非在社交媒体上泛滥的未经证实的指控。
Why did Riyadh not inform Dhaka before carrying out the executions, and why has it yet to provide the information Bangladesh requested? And why did Dhaka, which reportedly knew of Nazrul and Sweety's year-long incarceration, fail to obtain further details about their cases or intervene diplomatically before it was too late? These are the questions that demand answers, not the unverified allegations proliferating on social media.- Ends
