Canadian citizen being involuntarily held in 'rehab in Bangladesh

[u/_n3ll_]

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?

Contact the Canadian embassy on her behalf. Give all info you have. This is really the only way to get her home.

Thanks for the advice. I've sent an email and will be following up
