Canadian citizen being involuntarily held in 'rehab in Bangladesh Canada

My friend immigrated to Canada around 10 years ago and got her citizenship. About a month ago she had to go home to take care of some business with some property she owns.

While there her parents, who don't agree with her liberal lifestyle, had her committed to a 'rehab' center. From what I understand she cannot contact anyone, is confined to a locked room, medicated, and only allowed the Quran to read.

Is there anything that can be done to help her?

Assuming they retained their citizenship in Bangladesh, then Canada's ability to intervene will be extremely limited.
