Ex-Jamaat leader’s son abducted in Dhaka
Bangladeshi police stand guard in Dhaka
Dhaka - Arab Today
Police have abducted the son of a top Bangladeshi war crimes convict, his family said Tuesday, the latest in a series of forced disappearances of opposition leaders’ children.
More than 30 plainclothes officers seized Abdullahil Amaan Azmi from his home in the capital Dhaka, his family said in a statement.
The police had no warrant and gave no reason for arresting Azmi, the family said.
“No official acknowledgement of his arrest has yet been made, without which there are credible fears for a possible extrajudicial abduction,” the statement said.
Azmi’s father Ghulam Azam, the former head of Bangladesh’s largest Islamic party Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI), was sentenced to 90 years in prison in 2013 for war crimes. He died in prison in 2014.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
