[Dhaka Tribune] The September 17 arrest of Samiun Rahman ‐ a British citizen of Bangladeshi origin ‐ in east Delhi came a day before the government in New Delhi told the Supreme Court that the 40,000 Rohingya refugees in its territory constitute a national security threat.

Twenty-eight-year-old Rahman, whose family is still in London, had previously been incarcerated |
