The Government of Bangladesh strongly condemned, in a statement issued by its foreign ministry today, the information circulated by the media that the sanctity of the holy Quran has been desecrated in several cases at Guantanamo camp in Cuba, U.S. The Bangladeshi Foreign Ministry said it has seen with deep concern the reports that the sanctity of the holy book was violated in the camp. The statement condemned in the strongest words this flagrant violation which is considered a hurt of Muslims feelings and a breach of their sanctuaries. Bangladesh hopes that those responsible should be brought to justice, the statement said, adding that the behavior is a sacrilegious attack on Muslims faith. Earlier, Muslims in Spain also condemned the event, saying that the U.S. has no power of investigation in the incident as is has granted its officials full immunity in the aftermath of Abu-Ghareeb prison scandal in Iraq.
