Pro-Israel Editor Goes on Trial in Bangladesh
[Jerusalem Post] Michael Freund - The trial of Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury, a Bangladeshi Muslim editor arrested for advocating ties with Israel, began in Dhaka on Wednesday. Facing charges that include sedition, if convicted, Choudhury could be sentenced to death. In November 2003, Choudhury was arrested at Dhaka's international airport just prior to boarding a flight on his way to Israel, where he was scheduled to deliver an address on promoting understanding between Muslims and Jews.
