They cornered a medical student in an alley near the campus mosque at night, mentally tortured him until he named his gay classmates - and then the arrests came. This is what "homosexuality as a crime" looks like in 2026. Not a history lesson. Not a distant relic. Right now - five people were hauled off to jail and four students lost their campus housing, all over allegations of being gay. No trial. No evidence. Just suspicion, extracted under torture. It happened last month at a medical college in Dhaka, Bangladesh - where a colonial-era law criminalizing homosexuality has been on the books since 1860 and carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. The college held an emergency meeting the same night and issued a notice stripping the students of their dorm places, officially citing "suspicion of homosexuality."
