On February 13, 2025, writer Sohel Hasan Galib was arrested for allegedly “hurting religious sentiments through his social media posts and poetry.” Authorities specifically cited a poem in his book, Amar Khutba Guli, that they deemed derogatory toward the Prophet Mohammad, as evidence against him. Sent to jail on February 15, Galib was later placed on a two-day remand following a police plea for further interrogation.
