Comment: Meets  'Political figures not elected to public office': "Leaders of registered political parties at the national or major sub-national (state, province, prefecture, etc.) level are usually considered notable regardless of that party's degree of electoral success". This man is a leader of a Bangladeshi political party, who was imprisoned under the country's Special Power Act for 3 years (contrary to a ruling of the country's Supreme Court prohibiting rearrest without another court hearing when an accused is released on bail, according to a US Department of State report https://www.state.gov/j/drl/rls/hrrpt/2016/sca/265532.htm).

Some sources mentioned in a previous AfD had not been added to the article, eg the ''Wall Street Journal'' https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424127887323949404578309891223910204, and ''The Guardian'' https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/feb/23/protest-death-penalty-bangladesh. He was also arrested again this year http://www.unb.com.bd/category/politics/3-bnp-men-held-in-sherpur/721. He had not in fact stood for election until this year, when he is currently a candidate in an election to be held on 30 December 2018 (suspiciously close to the date of the AfD
