Banglade****s sentenced: President writes to Saudi King for clemency
President Professor Dr Iajuddin Ahmed has addressed a letter to Saudi
King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud seeking clemency for eight
Banglade****s sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia on charge of killing
an Egyptian national.
"Diplomatic efforts are underway to liaise with the family of the
murdered person to obtain release through payment of blood money,"
said a Foreign Ministry spokesman yesterday.
At the same time, the Bangladesh Ambassador in Saudi Arabia has been
asked to urge the community over there to raise the requisite amounts
for payment of the compensation (blood money).
