Two Bangladeshi migrant workers are dead after Saudi Arabia executed them over alleged immoral acts in Mecca. With Riyadh yet to disclose details of their alleged crimes, speculation has swirled over claims that their sin was that they kissed in public. The executions have sparked outrage over the punishment and the lack of prior notification to their families or the Bangladeshi government.

A decade-old beheading video circulated after two Bangladeshi nationals were executed in Saudi Arabia. A reverse search established that the footage showed a Myanmar woman's execution in 2015.
