On January 3rd, a Bangladeshi man was given a seven-year prison sentence for sharing an allegedly blasphemous post on Facebook in 2017. Reportedly, Rakesh Roy is a Bangladeshi Hindu and an organizing secretary of a Hindu group operating in the Muslim-majority country. Aside from the lengthy prison sentence, Roy was also given a hefty fine of 100,000 Bangladeshi takas. Roy was arrested in June 2017 after Fujayel Ahmed, a Muslim, filed a case against him, accusing Roy of insulting the Prophet Muhammad and Islam in his complaint. A screenshot of his Facebook post was widely shared, leading to protests calling for his arrest. Although the court sentenced him based on his guilt being proven by forensic evidence and witness testimony, Rakesh Roy vehemently denied these accusations. He said adversaries framed him by creating a fake Facebook account in his name and sharing the offensive post with the public. According to Roy, the "blasphemous" post was made after he objected to an extremist named Abdul Aziz planning to convert Hindus to Islam. Roy's legal counsel was disappointed with the verdict and said he would appeal to the higher court.
