Unrelated visuals misrepresented as Bangladeshi pair executed in Saudi Arabia returning home

After Saudi Arabia announced in October 2026 it had executed two Bangladeshi nationals for what it called "indecent act" at a mosque, a photo and videos circulated online with a false claim they showed the pair's bodies being returned home. They were in fact taken from unrelated events. A Bangladeshi official responsible for overseas workers also told AFP Saudi authorities had not returned their bodies when the false claim circulated.
