23 bodies on Libya's shores believed to be of BD nationals: Envoy

Quoting The Red Crescent and local government representatives, Bangladesh Ambassador to Libya Abul Hasnat Mohammad Khairul Bashar said 23 bodies, believed to be of Bangladeshis, were washed up on Libya's shores, reports UNB.

"However, since they did not have any kind of documentation on them, there is no way to confirm if they are indeed Bangladeshis," the ambassador said in a live stream on Facebook on Sunday.

"Those who were responsible for processing the bodies for burial said the bodies 'looked' to be of Bangladeshis," he further said.

"A group of 56 migrants left the shores of Libya on January 25. The boat might have experienced the accident the same night," he added.
