World: Being Arrested Because of FB Post

Think before you post anything on the Facebook unless you're willing end up being arrested. In addition, protect your account and never allow any other person to write anything on your behalf or you may also end up being arrested.

A Bangladeshi student has been arrested for allegedly posting obscene remarks about the father of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Facebook, police said Tuesday.

Police picked up Al Nayeem Jubaer, 19, from his village at Horinakundu, 200 kilometres (120 miles) west of the capital Dhaka, on Monday after scores of angry ruling party activists stormed his house.

"We arrested him for making obscene remarks about the birth of Bangabandhu," local police chief Abul Khaer told AFP, using the nickname of Bangladesh's founding leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the father of Sheikh Hasina.

"We have learnt that Jubaer's father is a (opposition party) Jamaat-e-Islami official," he said, giving no further details about the remarks posted on Facebook. The post was not showing up on Jubaer's page on Tuesday.
