His sin – his views about Jews and Israel

Confronting Jihadism, anti-Semitism, Holocaust denial, and religious extremism

He was put in prison after being wrongly convicted of blasphemy, sedition, and treason

This is how Israel-hating Bangladesh treated my brother – Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury. Shoaib was put in a condemned cell alongside death row inmates, his only crime being a journalist who spoke out against extremism and supported interfaith dialogue. His views on Jews and Israel were seen as blasphemous in a country where anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial run rampant.

Despite the overwhelming evidence in his favor, Shoaib was convicted of crimes he did not commit. His trial was a sham, designed to silence a dissenting voice in a country where freedom of speech is a distant dream. But Shoaib’s spirit remained unbroken, even as he faced unspeakable horrors in prison.

While Shoaib suffered in silence, his story resonated around the world. People from all walks of life came together to demand justice for him, to shine a light on the injustice being done in the name of religion. The case of Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury became a symbol of the struggle against extremism and intolerance.

As we confront the rise of jihadism, anti-Semitism, and religious extremism, we must remember the courage of individuals like Shoaib who speak out against hate and bigotry. Their voices may be silenced, but their message lives on – that we must stand together against intolerance and injustice.
