| In worsening row, Bangladesh lodges protest with Pakistani diplomat |
| 2016-02-04 |
| [DAWN] Bangladesh summoned on Tuesday Pakistain's high commissioner to lodge a protest after a Bangladeshi official in Islamabad was detained for four hours, two Dhaka officials said, amid a worsening diplomatic row between the two countries. Weeks of rising tension in the relationship were sparked in late November by the executions in Bangladesh of two opposition leaders convicted of crimes against humanity during the 1971 war. At the time, Pakistain's foreign ministry had expressed "deep concern and anguish" at the executions, describing the trials of those involved in alleged atrocities during the conflict as "flawed". The Pak high commissioner was summoned after the Bangladeshi official in Pakistain was detained for hours on Monday, hours after police in the Bangladeshi capital had detained an official of the Pakistain High Commission, citing his "suspicious movement". |
