Five Bangladeshi health workers have been arrested on murder charges after a social media post accused them of failing to provide aid to a man who died during last year's revolution, a prosecutor said Sunday.
The case, which has generated widespread attention after the Facebook post resulted in criticism online of the medics, concerns the death of a rickshaw puller, Mohammed Ismail.
Hospital workers say the five are innocent and that they risked their lives repeatedly to help wounded protesters.
More than 800 people died in the student-led demonstrations that culminated in the ouster of Sheikh Hasina's government on August 5.
