Facebook Declares Taslima Nasrin Dead

Facebook authorities have memorialised exiled author Taslima Nasrin's account as "remembering" within hours of a post she wrote expressing some thoughts about her imminent demise, on Tuesday.

Her Facebook timeline reads, "Remembering Taslima Nasrin: We hope that people who love Taslima will find comfort in visiting her profile to remember and celebrate her life."

"Taslima Nasreen is an award-winning writer, physician, feminist, humanist and human rights defender," wrote the social media authorities.

Her post expressed her beliefs about life after death, stating that she would rather have her remains donated to a hospital for research than be buried or cremated.

However, on the same day, the exiled author was last spotted active on social media. There has been no confirmation of her death.
