A London trainee GP has been beaten and withheld hostage by her family who are forcibly trying to marry her to a stranger in Bangladesh.
Dr Humayra Abedin, who has remained a prisoner since August by her parents, is believed to have been gagged, tied and violently struck to make her submit to her parents’ wishes.
Dr. Abedin, who had made East London her home while working in hospitals since 2002, is said to have developed a close bond with a Hindu Bangladeshi man - an act vehemently opposed by her Muslim family.
She had been baited to fly to Dhaka on the pretext of her mother’s illness ...

In response to the HC order, the lawyers for Humayra’s parents told the court that Humayra was mentally sick and she should be kept with her parents.
But they failed to show any document about her mental illness to the court.
