THE SAYEEDI AFFAIR

The recent UK visit of Delwar Hossain Sayeedi, the controversial lawmaker of the Islami right wing party Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh has caused much stir in the British press; Drishtipat reports. He is notorious for his hate speech against women, non Muslims and the West and is loathed by many in Bangladesh. Examples of his slurs can be found here. He may have gotten away with all these in Bangladesh, but I knew that he would face the reality someday.

The breaking news is that Sayeedi had been flown back to Bangladesh from UK. Any guess how he was extradited?
